The integration of Swifty is expected to bring several operational advantages and new revenue opportunities for Signing Day Sports:
<ul>
<li>Cost Efficiency: Swifty's in-house engineering team is expected to reduce Signing Day Sports' operating costs by over 50%, enabling the company to reinvest those savings into growth initiatives. It is also expected to increase the speed at which Signing Day Sports can roll out new products and technological enhancements to its current offering and optimize monetization of the product and user base.</li>
<li>Revenue Growth in SaaS: At their core, both Signing Day Sports and Swifty are SaaS model businesses. Swifty's scalability, technological resources, and technology initiatives are expected to bolster the growth of Signing Day Sports' app user base, enhance user retention and provide additional opportunities to monetize renewing subscribers with additional revenue streams.</li>
<li>New Revenue Streams: Swifty is expected to further expand Signing Day Sports' current product offering while also broadening the Company's exposure to new sports and athletes outside the U.S. Signing Day Sports has accumulated more than 10,000 registered users, which it plans to increase at an accelerated rate in the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2025. The Company's focus is to develop new strategic revenue streams, and improve revenue metrics per user, with the same aim of fully monetizing this growing user base.</li>

The cryptocurrency market has seen a significant surge in pre-market activity after Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reached a new high of $63,500.
What Happened: Following Bitcoin&#8217;s 0.4% increase, several Bitcoin ETFs experienced a surge in pre-market activity on Monday. As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBTC#NYSE">GBTC</a>) rose by 1.46%, Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITB#NYSE">BITB</a>) by 1.31%, and ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITO#NYSE">BITO</a>) by 1.21%. Other ETFs, including Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBTC#BATS">FBTC</a>) and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>), also witnessed minor increases of 0.99% and 0.77%, respectively. 
Reuters reported that Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone, attributed the surge to the &#8220;goldilocks macro backdrop,&#8221; which he believes is the primary driver of the current upward momentum. He also noted that Bitcoin&#8217;s rallies tend to be powerful, sparking significant FOMO (fear of missing out) among crypto investors.

Why It Matters: This surge in Bitcoin ETFs comes on the heels of a recent report by 10x Research, which suggested that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40955750/bitcoins-correction-ends-but-it-has-to-break-this-target-to-surge-to-70k-10x-research">Bitcoin&#8217;s correction phase </a>may have ended. The report indicated a potential surge towards the $70,000 mark, with trading signals showing a favorable buying opportunity for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Earlier in September, a viral story <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40946963/bitcoin-worth-63-000-pulled-in-33-pack-of-trading-cards-at-gamestop-mind-boggling-story-go">about a GameStop customer</a> who turned a $33 trading card pack into a full Bitcoin worth over $60,000 also highlighted the growing influence of cryptocurrency in mainstream markets.

TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>) inked a deal to supply Air France-KLM with up to 1.5 million tons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) over the next 10 years, through 2035.
This is one of Air France-KLM&#8217;s largest SAF agreements. This contract builds on a 2022 memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the supply of 800,000 tons of SAF.
By revisiting the agreement, both groups are reinforcing their commitment to reducing the environmental impact of air transport and lowering CO2 emissions as quickly as possible.
Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, said, &#8220;SAF contributes both to the energy transition of our customers in the aviation sector and to the industrial transition of our refineries. It therefore represents a real &#8216;win-win&#8217; for the future of industry and aviation.&#8221;
&#8220;Securing the volumes of more sustainable aviation fuel needed to decarbonize our activity is a major challenge. This agreement with TotalEnergies is a further step in this direction, and a testament to our long-standing support for the development of SAF production in France and Europe,&#8221; said&nbsp;Benjamin Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Air France-KLM Group.
Notably, TotalEnergies has invested 340 million euros to convert its refinery into a biorefinery. In 2024, the company invested an additional 70 million euros to process up to 100% of waste from the circular economy, with plans to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by 2025.
Last week, TotalEnergies extended its sales and purchase agreement (SPA) with CNOOC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/40934542" rel="noreferrer noopener">by an additional five years</a>.
Also, the company inked a 10-year deal with BOTAŞ to supply 1.1 million tons of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40919924/totalenergies-expands-in-turkey-with-long-term-lng-agreement" rel="noreferrer noopener">LNG annually starting in 2027.</a>
Apart from this, this month, the company formed a 50/50 joint venture with Adani Green for a 1,150 MW solar project in Gujarat, India. TotalEnergies will invest $444 million,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40681721/totalenergies-invests-in-indian-solar-projects-forms-jv-with-adani-green-energy" rel="noreferrer noopener">boosting its renewable energy strategy</a>.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Advisor Managed Portfolios Miller Value Partners Appreciation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MVPA#NYSE">MVPA</a>) and&nbsp;Octane All-Cap Value Energy ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OCTA#NASDAQ">OCTA</a>).
Price Action: TTE shares closed lower by 0.07% at $69.09 on Friday.

Fortis Inc. ("Fortis" or the "Corporation") (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTS#NYSE">FTS</a>) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary Fortis&nbsp;Energy Caribbean Inc. ("FECI") has agreed to provide a standby commitment (the "Standby Commitment") for a rights offering (the&nbsp;"Rights&nbsp;Offering") by Caribbean Utilities Company, Ltd. ("CUC") (TSX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CUP#TSX">CUP</a>). Pursuant to the Rights Offering, CUC&nbsp;will issue up to an aggregate of 3,822,298 or 10% of its currently issued and outstanding Class&nbsp;A Ordinary Shares (the "CUC Shares"). FECI will exercise the rights issued to it in the Rights Offering and will acquire a minimum of 2,220,422 CUC Shares at a price of US$13.41 per CUC Share for aggregate consideration of US$29,775,859.02. &nbsp;
Subject to certain customary terms and conditions, FECI may acquire up to 1,601,876 additional CUC Shares at the same price pursuant to the Standby Commitment. If there are no other subscribers in the Rights Offering, FECI will acquire a total of 3,822,298 CUC Shares through the Rights Offering and Standby Commitment for aggregate consideration of US$51,257,016.18. Based on the average daily rate of exchange quoted by the Bank of Canada on September 19, 2024, the consideration in Canadian dollars is C$18.19 per CUC Share or aggregate consideration of C$69,527,600.62 should there be no other subscribers in the Rights Offering.
Prior to the Rights Offering, Fortis indirectly owned 22,204,229 CUC Shares representing approximately 58% of the CUC Shares. On closing of the Rights Offering, which is expected to occur on or about November 4, 2024, Fortis will beneficially own approximately 58% of the CUC Shares if the Rights Offering is fully subscribed or approximately 62% of the CUC Shares if there are no other subscribers in the Rights Offering.
The purpose of the Rights Offering is to provide CUC with capital to be used to finance alternative energy projects, ongoing additions and upgrades to its generation, transmission and distribution systems and for general corporate purposes.
Fortis will review its holdings in CUC Shares from time to time and may acquire additional securities or dispose of securities of CUC, in either case, in the open market, by private agreement or otherwise, depending on numerous factors, including without limitation, the availability of securities of CUC, economic conditions, market conditions and other business and investment opportunities available to Fortis.
