BlackStar's Digital Trading Platform Concept Receives SEC Guidance in Q3 2020

BOULDER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / September 16, 2020 / BlackStar Enterprise Group, Inc. (OTCQB:BEGI), has created software demonstrating the concept of trading shares for cash using blockchain technology. The software design is complete and demonstrates a proof-of-concept trading ability while recording activity using an immutable blockchain ledger hosted by Amazon's (AMS) Hyper-Link Blockchain.

The Company has designed and is constructing the Peer-to-Peer ("P2P") BlackStar Digital Trading Platform ("BDTP"). We have completed a working demo on Amazon Blockchain that facilitates shareholder trading activity - a process that we believe complements the existing market makers. Currently, we are planning that there will be a small charge to enter the platform, but no ticket charge, and with unlimited commission-free trading. We hope that BDTP will be operational, subject to obtaining funding, by 1st Quarter of 2021.

The Company is positioning itself to trade BEGI common shares digitally on Amazon's Blockchain while complying with the rules and regulations within the Broker Dealer Eco-System. We believe that this parallel market may produce liquidity from price movement or arbitrage, along with low cost of entry and easy access to Bid and Offer prices for both shareholders and speculators. In July 2020, the Company presented the concept to SEC FinHub staff members for regulatory guidance and received the recommendation to apply for Alternative Trading System ("ATS") status. Given that guidance, we are evaluating our options for finalizing the BDTP, including exploring partnerships with existing ATS's. BlackStar will continue to seek further input from various regulatory agencies and OTC Markets on the potential functionality and regulatory aspects of the BDTP over the next several months.

More information can be found in the Company's recently filed periodic report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
