<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Partnership With Danish Medical Marijuana Producer</h2>
The first UK-based medical cannabis manufacturer will be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/03/31351120/medical-marijuana-milestone-in-the-uk-celadon-pharmaceuticals-becomes-first-company-with-license" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">granted a Home Office license to sell its products</a> also announced Tuesday a <a href="https://otp.tools.investis.com/clients/uk/celadon_pharma_ltd/rns/regulatory-story.aspx?cid=2667&amp;newsid=1862806">strategic collaboration</a> with Valeos Pharma A/S, a Danish pharmaceutical company and licensed producer of medicinal marijuana.
Celadon and Valeos have entered into a framework agreement whereby Celadon has agreed to license certain of its genetics for cultivation by Valeos.
Under the agreement, Celadon will buy medical marijuana products, cultivated from both its own and Valeos&#8217; genetics, to supply product to its existing and prospective European customers. It will also licence the IP to assist Valeos in refitting their existing cultivation and growing rooms at its Danish EU-GMP facility.
Celadon will provide Valeos with access to its harmaceutical medical cannabis genetics for an agreed fee. Through the use of its IP and genetics, Celadon and Valeos are targeting to increase the product yield and quality of Valeos&#8217; growing rooms by up to 100% , about 3 tons of annual cultivation capacity, which could be worth up to £30 million of pharmaceutical grade medical marijuana per year.
In return, Celadon will receive 50% of the increased revenue generated from Valeos&#8217; upgraded facility, with the option to settle in cash or equity, worth up to £1.7 million annually.
Additionally, Celadon will establish a Danish subsidiary to streamline operations and supply cannabis directly from within the EU, which will help meet growing demand, particularly in light of relaxed regulations in Germany. Celadon has secured the first right of refusal for Valeos&#8217; harvests for up to five years, ensuring a steady supply of its exclusive cannabis genetics to its European customers.
The production from Valeos&#8217; upgraded facility is expected to begin in Q1 2025, subject to licensing approvals from the UK and Danish authorities.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Financial Updates</h2>
As of Sep. 10, Celadon had £48,000 in cash. After obtaining funds from the newest fundraiser the company will have £1.046 million, which should cover its needs until Dec., the company said in a press release.
Celadon is still waiting for additional funds from the delayed payments. The company will issue its financial statements by the end of Sep. when it will also update it cash position.

Shiba Inu's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) dull monthly performance and technical indicators point to further short-term weakness for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/shiba-inu-price-prediction">popular meme coin</a>.  
What Happened: Shiba Inu&#8217;s burn rate has surged by 8,193.6% since burning 1 million coins around 13 hours ago, according to Shibburn data. The remaining 2.1 million coins were burned across several transactions.
According to Benzinga's technical analysis, Shiba Inu's relative strength index of 50 shows the meme coin in neutral territory. However, the simple moving average (SMA) chart indicates that both the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the 50-day SMA are below the 200-day SMA, pointing to market weakness for the meme coin. 
According to this technical data, sellers may have control, flagging a warning for further price declines unless momentum reverses.

Why It Matters: IntoTheBlock data shows large transactions slumped 65.5% in the past 24 hours. However, daily active addresses increased by 6.9%.
Indodax, an Indonesian crypto exchange, was <a href="https://x.com/Cointelegraph/status/1833781573260619935">attacked</a>, with the hacker stealing various tokens from hot wallets. Around 9 billion SHIB were stolen from the exchange as total damages tally to $22 million. 
Price Action: In the past 24 hours, SHIB is trading 1.6% down, taking its monthly loss to around 6%.
What&#8217;s Next: The influence of meme coins is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga&#8217;s upcoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19.

Analysts attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish their ratings on stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter or whenever the company has a major update.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings.
