NEW YORK, January 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
According to industry site CoinDesk, the price of bitcoin held at about $10,000 on Tuesday after
it rebounded from recent lows. Recently, the world's largest cryptocurrency by market capitalizations fell below $10,000 due to concerns regarding increasing regulations from South Korea on
cryptocurrency trading. According to CryptoCompare, South Korean Won accounted for about 4.8 percent of bitcoin trading volume.
For Ethereum, about 9 percent of the trading was made by South Korean Won. For ripple, the third largest cryptocurrency by market
cap, South Korea Won account about 31 percent of the trading volume. Glance Technologies Inc. (OTC: GLNNF), Chinanet Online
Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: CNET), Longfin Corp. (NASDAQ: LFIN), NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD), Net Element International Inc. (NASDAQ:

According to data from Coinmarketcap, the total market capitalization of 1509 cryptocurrencies is about 520 billion. It hit
its all-time high of about $830 billion earlier this year. According to CNBC, Nolan Bauerle, director of research at CoinDesk, said in an email, "There have been six such large sell-offs
since the summer of 2016…The pattern is familiar: Bitcoin falls, finds a bottom and consolidates at previous all-time high.
Traders who seek to increase their total bitcoin holdings take a fiat position, or move to another cryptocurrency, then buy back
into bitcoin. This massive, global traffic pushes prices back up."
Glance Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: GLNNF) also listed on the Canadian Stock Exchange under the Ticker 'GET'. Yesterday
the company announced breaking news that, "Glance Technologies Inc. is making a normal course issuer bid through the facilities
of the Canadian Securities Exchange. Under the bid, Glance will purchase up to 6.5 million common shares of the currently issued
and outstanding common shares of Glance. The normal course issuer bid's start date will be Monday, Feb. 5,
2018, and will not extend beyond 12 months. The firm Glance will be using is Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. Any purchases
will be made by Glance at the prevailing market prices of the shares at the time of purchase. All shares purchased will be
cancelled. The actual number of shares purchased the timing of purchases and the price at which the shares are bought will depend
upon future market conditions and potential alternative uses for Glance's cash resources.

reflect the underlying value of Glance's business and its future business prospects. Glance believes that at such times the
purchase of common shares would be in the best interests of the company. Such purchases are expected to benefit all remaining
shareholders by increasing their equity interest in Glance.
