Spider Silk Continues to Drive Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Inc (OTCMKTS: KBLB)

Published

on

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Inc (OTCMKTS: KBLB) has been getting more attention from investors in recent weeks since briefly dipping below a dime last month. The stock was trading as high as $0.507 this past summer.

Kraig Biocraft bills itself as the leading developer of genetically engineered spider silk based fiber technologies.The Company has achieved a series of scientific breakthroughs in the area of spider silk technology with implications for the global textile industry. Kraig Labs is a biotechnology company focused on the development of commercially significant high performance polymers and technical fibers.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Inc (OTCMKTS: KBLB) focus has been on the production of a transgenic silkworm incorporating specific gene sequences from the golden orb weaving spider. These specific gene sequences inserted are to enable the silkworm to spin a new recombinant fiber which incorporates spider silk proteins. With the scientific breakthrough announced on September 29, 2010, Kraig Labs is now working to commercialize the transgenic silkworms to compete in the garment industry silk market. The value for the chinese raw silk market alone is 3-5 billion per annum. With the creation of 20 seperate transgenic silkworms, all with unique properties, Kraig Labs is now working at an accelerated pace to build upon their first generation transgenic organisms to develop their second generation of transgenic silkworm incorporating spider silk proteins. The scientists nearly doubled the strength of the silkworm with these specific spider gene insertions. Their second generation of transgenics are expected to be complete in 2011. These second generation organisms are to be compared with the strength, flexibility and resiliency of the native spider in which the gene sequences are derived from. These fibers which will match the strength of spider silk are expected to compete in the technical textiles market valued in excess of 120 billion per annum. The 3rd generation organisms are currently in the planning phase. These organisms are expected to spin fibers exceeding the strength of native spiders and may incorporate gene sequences that release an antibiotic, or to help reduce scarring with use in bandages.

KBLB has long held that its genetically engineered protein-based fibers have properties that are in some ways superior to the materials currently available in the marketplace. For example, as noted above, the ability of spider silk to absorb in excess of 100,000 joules of kinetic energy per kilogram makes it a potentially ideal material for structural blast protection. Production of this material in commercial quantities holds the potential of a life-saving ballistic resistant material, which is lighter, thinner, more flexible, and tougher than steel. Other applications for spider silk based recombinant fibers include use as structural material and for any application in which light weight and high strength are required. We believe that fibers made with recombinant protein-based polymers will make significant inroads into the specialty fiber and technical textile markets.

While scientists have been able to replicate the proteins that are the building blocks of spider silk, the technological barrier that has stymied production until now has been the inability to form these proteins into a fiber with the desired mechanical characteristics and to do so in a cost effective manner.

On January 28 Kraig Biocraft provided an update on Prodigy Textiles’, the Company’s Vietnamese subsidiary, production operations. The Company began production operations, at its Vietnamese subsidiary, in October of 2019. Due to climate conditions and farming cycles, silk is traditionally not produced during the winter in Vietnam. In its efforts to bring its revolutionary silk materials to market, as soon as possible, the Company pushed ahead, rearing its silkworms through the winter months.

The Company hoped to overcome the production challenges of operating in the off season by utilizing its temperature controlled laboratories. While initially highly successful, the Company began to face setbacks in sustaining production during this traditional off season. Fluctuating temperatures, and difficulties in sourcing high quality mulberry, led to production challenges. The Company has accelerated the planting of additional mulberry under contract and control to eliminate these issues for future production cycles.

The Company expects to re-ignite its production expansion over the next 30-45 days, as spring temperatures realign with production requirements. The Company will also use this growing season as an opportunity to improve its internal factory environmental control protocols. When all controls are in place, the Company believes that it can successfully reach year-round production.

“As with any company’s first large scale production run, we expected some delays and challenges. These small hurdles will cause a short delay, but we do not anticipate any negative impact to our long term plans, quality, or capacity,” said Jon Rice, COO. “We assembled an excellent team in Vietnam; they are tirelessly working to bring this vision of large scale spider silk production, from silkworms, to life. I am excited about the opportunities ahead for Kraig Labs and our eco-friendly spider silk materials.”

Currently trading at a $108 million market valuation KBLB is fully reporting OTCQB with just under $1 million in the treasury and manageable debt. KBLB has been around for years developing their transgenic silkworm incorporating spider silk proteins; a disruptive technology that addresses several multi-billion dollar markets. There could not be a more exciting time for KBLB as they move into the production phase, commence larger scale silk production and go to market. After some setbacks the Company said it expects to re-ignite its production expansion over the next 30-45 days  We will be updating on KBLB when more details emerge so make sure you are subscribed to Microcapdaily so you know what’s going on with KBLB.

Pagaya Technologies (NASDAQ: PGY) Experiences Astonishing Stock Surge: From Struggling to Thriving

Published

on

Shares of Pagaya Technologies (NASDAQ: PGY) have surged by nearly 70% since early Monday morning. This remarkable increase comes after a period when the global fintech company, known for its expertise in AI-driven financial infrastructure, was struggling to meet NASDAQ’s compliance standards and was trading below one dollar. However, the company’s latest news release has brought about a significant transformation, as Pagaya now appears to be trading strongly above the $1.00 mark.

The cause for these gains appear to be related to their latest announcement of successfully concluding its latest asset-backed securitization (ABS) transaction called PAID 2023-4. The transaction raised a total of $541 million, marking the 39th ABS transaction for Pagaya since 2018 and the seventh in 2023. Pagaya follows a unique funding model where capital is raised in advance before loan origination takes place, positioning them as the top issuer of personal loan ABS transactions in the United States.

Qualified institutional buyers acquired $541 million in asset-backed notes from this securitization, which primarily consisted of unsecured consumer loan assets. Over the years, Pagaya has conducted ABS transactions totalling more than $16 billion since 2018, providing funding for over $16 billion in new loan originations by US consumer lenders, all facilitated by the power of Pagaya’s AI technology.

Gal Krubiner, the Co-Founder and CEO of Pagaya, expressed confidence in their funding model, AI capabilities, and research and analytics teams, emphasizing the scalable opportunities and solutions they offer to partners and investors. He noted that this latest securitization exemplifies the ongoing strength and demand within Pagaya’s network, which consistently delivers value in the current economic climate.

Pagaya’s technology and network continue to prove their effectiveness. The recent securitization exemplifies how Pagaya’s AI network is uniquely positioned to source high-quality assets from various partners and connect them with top institutional investors, creating a mutually beneficial scenario for all parties involved.
