US speculate the wire may have been initiated today but may face a 24-hour or even 48-hour clearing delay between UK and US systems.

US buyers of Valereum are more aggressive on the VGOLD yield narrative (10%–15% targets).

US are talking about the 60-day flip on OTC Markets since the 4 March OTCQB debut is approaching in early May.

This is when a second wave of US market makers typically enters, which US believe will "crush the spread" and significantly increase daily volume.

US are more interested in the VGOLD-CORE part of the coupon payment because they see this as much more important than the cash part of the coupon payment.

US see the assets from QGP to Valereum as part of the strategic integration making Valereum significantly more valuable.

The "60-day flip" is a common phenomenon in the OTC markets that US are watching for with Valereum as they head toward early May 2026.

Here is why the US are specifically eyeing that window for Valereum:

1. The Market Maker "Invasion"

Currently, Valereum is in a phase in the US where only the lead market maker (often the one who sponsored the listing) provides consistent quotes.

The Flip:

Around the 60-day mark, other major US market makers (like Virtu, Citadel, or G1X) typically begin to "piggyback" on the ticker.

The Result:

This competition usually crushes the bid-ask spread.

2. Clearing and Settlement Ease

Many US retail brokerages (like Fidelity or Charles Schwab) have internal "holding periods" or extra compliance checks for newly listed foreign dual-listings.

The Flip:

Once a share has been 60 days on the US OTCQB it is easier for retail investors to buy.

3. Institutional "Wait-and-See"

Funds often have a policy against buying into the first 60 days of a new US listing to avoid "listing volatility."

The Strategy:

Funds are waiting for this 60-day milestone to confirm the QGP merger integration is actually sticking. If the "flip" aligns with a successful integration update in May, US expect a shift to institutional accumulation.

Looks like US are buying on the cheap again .........

US$3.9 Million Cash Watch:

US are monitoring the cash portion of a US$3.9 million coupon payment due from Quorium Global Photonics (QGP).

Announced on 31 March, the cash is payable within 5 business days, making the deadline probably about Thursday/Friday of this week, 9/10 April 2026, because of the UK Easter Holidays.

The remaining balance will be paid in VGOLD upon signing a definitive merger agreement.

Strategic Exit from Blubird:

On 2 April 2026, Valereum announced it is in talks to unwind its US$2.5 million investment agreement with Blubird Global.

Only US$900,000 was funded; US interpret this as a "refocusing" of capital toward the more lucrative VGOLD ecosystem.

30-Day Integration Clock:

US are tracking the exclusivity agreement for a full strategic integration with QGP.

A Definitive Agreement is expected by about Thursday 30 April 2026/Friday 1 May 2026.

As security, QGP has pledged all its ordinary shares and warrants in Valereum to the company until the deal is concluded

VGOLD Yield Sentiment:

Positive chatter continues regarding VGOLD's target yield of 10%–15% for long-term stakers, which management positions as a key differentiator in the tokenised gold market.

As I said as original as a cardboard box and that's being too nice about your posts cs.

Cs you're about as original as a cardboard box and that's probably being too nice .......

Valereum’s VGold: The Future of Digital Gold?

StockBox speaks with Gary Cottle, CEO of Valereum PLC, about the launch of VGold — a regulated digital gold token designed to combine real asset backing with attractive yield.

In partnership with QGP, Valereum is building a tokenized gold ecosystem that integrates bullion holdings, mining finance, and liquidity solutions.

Key Topics Covered:

VGold token mechanics and regulatory strategy

Yield generation via discounted gold supply

QGP partnership and VGOLD Core liquidity

Mining finance and global gold market dynamics

Institutional interest and US listing plans

It is Blubird without an "e"

Gary Cottle came on board as CEO after this investment and obviously saw it as not being the future for Valereum.

Personally, I like the way Gary Cottle works, he removes what is not needed for the futrue growth of Valereum and saves loads of money doing so.

For example, partnering with up to date tech companies and not employing tech people directly.

Cutting the payment to Blubird in September 2025 and renegotiating now to an obvious no more funding for Blubird because it's not the futurte.

Taking partial payment in VGOLD for the coupon is strategic thinking to prove VGOLD's worth to the Institutions.

The same with changing the $200m QMTNs into VGOLD.

If you don't back your own VGOLD, then don't expect others to back it, so it's all about leadership and example.

Valereum could have made the payment schedule to Blubird in September 2025.

It's obvious Valereum chose not to do so because Blubird is not the future nor the future growth for Valereum.

This, to me, shows Gary Cottle is on the ball by withholding the payment in September 2025 to Blubird.

Gary Cottle knew Blubird weren't the future for Valereum in September 2025 and withheld the payment hence the statement in RNS today about no further funding.

For me, there will be no further funding for Blubird because VGOLD is the future for Valereum.

Trying to get in at a much cheaper prices as usual isthisacult ........

Yes you're right about Blubird which is spelt without an e in Blu.

US Chat today about this Blubird RNS as follows:-

Corporate Strategy Shifts:-

Blubird Investment Exit:

US Chatter has increased following today’s announcement that Valereum is in talks to potentially unwind its $2.5 million investment in Blubird Global.

US Chatter view this as a positive "refocusing" of capital toward the more lucrative VGOLD ecosystem.

QGP Strategic Integration:

The 30-day exclusivity agreement for a strategic integration is being seen by US as a precursor to a full merger with QGP and Valereum owning the underlying gold assets directly, which would significantly strengthen Valereum's balance sheet for a US main board listing.

From RNS dated 2 April 2026:-

"Valereum Plc (AQSE: VLRM), a company aiming to become the global market leader in the rapidly developing tokenised digital markets sector, refers to the previous announcement dated 3 June 2025 and provides an update on the US$2.5m investment agreement with Blubird Global Inc. ("Blubird"). To date, tranches totalling US$900k have been funded.

Valereum and Blubird are engaged in constructive discussions regarding the future of the investment arrangements in light of the companies' respective strategic priorities.

These discussions include the possibility of agreeing revised terms that would conclude the investment without further funding.

A further update will be provided as appropriate."

In other words, Bluebird is no longer needed for future growth, so there'll be no more funding provided to Bluebird.

Stop panicking over nothing ........

VGOLD is the future and the future growth for Valereum.

US conversations still very bullish about VGOLD today too.

Bluebird not needed so hence no payment and no more future payments at all to Bluebird - no need to worry about any fiuture payments needed to go to Bluebird at all.

As usual panicking over nothing on here.

VGOLD is the future.

The first gold token that pays you to hold it - is the biggest US conversation today.

US conversations on VGOLD cover the following:-

- traditional gold ETFs (like GLD) are now being viewed as "legacy tech," while VGOLD is being positioned as a "yield-generating commodity"—a hybrid asset class that US institutions have been seeking for years to offset inflation.

- upbeat about Gary Cottle and backing him for taking the coupon partly in VGOLD with its great projected yield and swapping the QMTNs into VGOLD, again because of the great VGOLD projected yield.

- calling VGOLD a "game-changer" for the gold sector.

- highlighting that while competitors like PAXG offer safety, they don't offer the "income-producing" element that US retirement funds and IRAs are currently hunting for.

- the quiet volume on the London Aquis Market today is being interpreted as US "smart money" quietly accumulating Valereum shares without triggering a massive price spike.

- suggesting that Valereum is "professionalising" the gold token space, making it safe for US institutional money.

- speculating that Valereum is already in pre-listing talks with Nasdaq regulators. Sentiment is that the VGOLD launch was the final "operational proof" required to move from the OTCQB to the main board in H1 2026.

- projecting a unique 10% to 15% yield for VGOLD as a massive disruptor in the gold market, where assets are typically "dead" and non-income producing.

- paying the $3.9 million coupon partly in VGOLD is a critical real-world demonstration that the tokenisation infrastructure works for large-scale institutional use.

- "Yield Farmers" are comparing VGOLD to high-interest savings accounts but with the inflation hedge of physical gold. The sentiment is that this "fixes" the biggest flaw in gold ownership: the lack of cash flow

- US inflation data remaining sticky, VGOLD's 10–15% projected yield seen as a superior "real return" compared to the 4–5% offered by government bonds.

- calling VGOLD "Gold 2.0," arguing that the ability to hold a hard asset (gold) while receiving a "dividend-like" coupon is the "holy grail" for US retirees and income-seekers.

- 10% to 15% annual projected returns for VGOLD are being widely circulated as a "disruptor" to traditional non-yielding gold ETFs.

- sentiment remains high in US following the interviews with CEO Gary Cottle.

- praising Gary Cottle's "institutional-first" approach to tokenisation, which is seen as providing a layer of regulatory safety.

- focused on Gary Cottle's ability to bridge the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralised finance (DeFi).

UNoriginal and so boring boring boring ..........GoldenGod

Bound by reality

Now that's funny .......

Please don't make me laugh so much GoldenGod - bound by reality

HAHAHAHA

bound by reality

I can't stop laughing now .......

Yes and this is why there's been a whale buying on otcqb.

US institution chatter going mad over what will happen next.

Sounds like US is well in front when it comes to audit hash on injective blockchain from metrikus.

Please remember, you need to ask intelligent questions on GEMINI and not boring, stupid, repetitive, questions.

You mean your rubbish on QGP and IAS GoldenGod.

You didn't understand them then and you still don't understand them even now.

Spend your time on GEMINI and you might learn something for a change.

It would certainly make a great change to the rest of us, you learning something new instead of the same old boring rubbish day in day out, all day, every day, for 4 years ...... boring, boring, boring

Think, why hasn't there been a RNS today, if something was wrong with the payment

It's having to clear regulatory hurdles, it's the first time it's been done, so it'll be a learning exercise for next time.

This is why US Institutions and Professional Advisers look for the audit hash on Metrikus on blockchain. They know there can be regulatory hurdles delaying payments.

As for the audit hash, it's on blockchain, so get onto blockchain and find it.

If you spent time doing your homework thoroughly, you'd make money instead of wasting valuable time posting about things on here that you know nothing at all about.

Try and come up with something original, if you're going to reply, otherwise don't bother because you're wasting everybody's time on here.

I am busy with much better things to do than being on here ........

Wow again ......
