Why just own a stock when you can own the market?

Invest in GlobexUS “Horizon,” the Ethereum-powered technology behind the Upstream stock trading app.

Problem

Today's Stock Markets Need an Upgrade

For international investors, accessing U.S., Canadian, and other international stocks can be a hassle. But now, with the Upstream app, this process is simplified. Upstream, a joint venture between MERJ Exchange and Horizon (a subsidiary of GlobexUS Holdings Corp), provides direct exchange access to these securities, making investing easier than ever.

  • International investors typically use on-line or local broker​ages/banks operating ‘payment for order flow’ and T+2 settlement.​

  • Many foreign stock markets lack a direct app-based trading solution to reach modern investors seamlessly.​ ​

  • Oversea investors face trading hours that may not match U.S. market hours and a lack of transparency on whether they’re getting the best possible prices. ​ ​ ​

Solution

Democratizing Access for Retail Investors

It’s time for modern trading systems to replace the antiquated ones. Upstream gives global retail investors direct access to dual listed equities from all over the world right from their smartphone. ​

Upstream allows issuers from all regulated markets to dual list and qualified global investors may purchase such dual listed securities that are listed on Upstream. U.S. investors may not deposit, buy, or sell securities Upstream.

How We Make Money

Fees are earned by GlobexUS subsidiaries. MERJ receives separate listing and regulatory fees.

Horizon’s cutting-edge Ethereum layer-2 technology powers Upstream, offering a seamless experience from issuance to secondary trading. This advanced system ensures efficient, transparent transactions, setting us apart in the trading industry.

Invest now to be part of what we believe is the future of digital trading.

  • https://raneum.com, an Ethereum layer-2 that rolls-up to Ethereum mainnet. All Upstream smart contracts are programmed in Solidity.​​

  • No, Horizon, a wholly owned subsidiary of GlobexUS Holding Corp has a 50/50 JV Partnership with MERJ Exchange (MERJ) which operates Upstream as a fully regulated and licensed integrated securities exchange, clearing system and depository for digital and non-digital securities.

  • Yes, Upstream supports covered calls and cash-covered puts.

  • Regulation CF allows investors to invest in startups and early-growth companies. This is different from helping a company raise money on Kickstarter; with Regulation CF Offerings, you aren’t buying products or merchandise - you are buying a piece of a company and helping it grow.

  • Accredited investors can invest as much as they want. But if you are NOT an accredited investor, your investment limit depends on either your annual income or net worth, whichever is greater. If the number is less than $124,000, you can only invest 5% of it. If both are greater than $124,000 then your investment limit is 10%.

  • To calculate your net worth, just add up all of your assets and subtract all of your liabilities (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence). The resulting sum is your net worth.

  • We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.

  • Individuals over 18 years of age can invest.

  • Any non-U.S. investor can trade securities on Upstream. Everyone can trade Collectibles on Upstream.

  • There will always be some risk involved when investing in a startup or small business. And the earlier you get in the more risk that is usually present. If a young company goes out of business, your ownership interest could lose all value. You may have limited voting power to direct the company due to dilution over time. You may also have to wait about three to five years (if ever) for an exit via acquisition, IPO, etc. Because early-stage companies are still in the process of perfecting their products, services, and business model, nothing is guaranteed. That’s why startups should only be part of a more balanced, overall investment portfolio.

  • The Series A Preferred Stock (the "Shares") of GlobexUS Holdings Corp (the "Company") are not publicly-traded. As a result, the shares cannot be easily traded or sold. As an investor in a private company, you typically look to receive a return on your investment under the following scenarios: The Company gets acquired by another company. The Company goes public (makes an initial public offering). In those instances, you receive your pro-rata share of the distributions that occur, in the case of acquisition, or you can sell your shares on an exchange. These are both considered long-term exits, taking approximately 3-5 years (and often longer) to see the possibility for an exit. It can sometimes take years to build companies. Sometimes there will not be any return, as a result of business failure.

  • Shares sold via Regulation Crowdfunding offerings have a one-year lockup period before those shares can be sold under certain conditions.

  • Investing in startups is risky and there is no guarantee you will get a return on your investment. However, an exit opens up the opportunity where you could convert your shares into cash or a more liquid asset. Exits include going public, getting acquired by a larger company, or our company buying back shares. If the value of our company grows, then you have a higher potential of making a profit on your investment during one of these exits.

  • The shares will be held in book entry with our transfer agent Equity Stock Transfer, EST.
