^{PRESENTED BY KINGSMEN RESOURCES}

Kingsmen Resources (TSX-V: KNG | OTCQB: KNGRF) is exploring for silver and gold in Mexico’s historic Parral Mining District, an area that produced precious metals for over a century, but was never systematically drilled at depth as a single project.

🥈 Historic District, Modern Approach
Kingsmen consolidated roughly 15 legacy concessions into one unified land package called Las Coloradas, bringing modern exploration to a fragmented, high-grade silver–gold system for the first time.

⛏️ Drilling Momentum
The company has completed its first modern drill program, released early results, and has additional assays still pending. A second phase of drilling is now being planned with improved targeting.

📍 District-Scale Upside
Kingsmen has also added the nearby Almoloya Project, providing a second silver–gold target within the same historic camp.

🌍 Why It’s on Watchlists
With gold and silver near record levels, investors are increasingly focused on underexplored districts with real history. Las Coloradas fits that profile, a proven camp now being tested properly at depth.

👉 Worth knowing about as the next round of silver–gold exploration stories starts to surface.

The so-called ‘tokenization of everything’ took another turn on Monday when the New York Stock Exchange announced the development of a tokenized securities platform.

Definition: Tokenization of a security is creating a digital token on a blockchain that represents ownership or economic exposure to a traditional stock. Several companies have offered tokenized stock products in the past year.

Details: Subject to regulatory approvals, the new tokenization platform from the NYSE will enable tokenized trading experiences.

Powering the Story: The platform will facilitate 24x7 trading of U.S.-listed equities and ETFs (exchange-traded funds). It will also enable fractional share trading, while providing tokenized traders with traditional shareholder dividends and governance rights.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: For everyday investors, the NYSE’s tokenized securities platform is potentially positive in the long run, but the benefits are not automatic. The main risks will be in fees, product design, and how regulation is implemented.

Final Thoughts: Treat tokenized NYSE products as just another way to hold familiar exposures (e.g., S&P 500 ETF, large‑cap stocks), not as a new asset class.

Dogecoin $DOGE ( ▼ 3.07% ) ticked up less than 1% on Monday, but the price of the popular meme coin is down about 13% in the last week.

Details: There has not been a recent major negative protocol or regulatory shock aimed uniquely at Dogecoin. It seems that some investors and traders are just selling Dogecoin and choosing other digital assets.

Bigger Picture: Bitcoin’s $BTC ( ▼ 3.73% ) price is up 2% in the last week. This suggests that investors are rotating into Bitcoin because they are interested in “safer” cryptocurrency opportunities instead of meme coins.

Final Thoughts: Going back 30 days, Dogecoin is down about 2%.

The consumer products company Betterware de México $BWMX ( ▲ 9.87% ) announced Monday that it has acquired Tupperware’s operating assets in Latin America, which operate primarily in Mexico and Brazil.

Details: The deal is for $250 million, including cash, debt, and shares in the company.

Final Thoughts: Betterware’s stock is up 42% in the past year.
