Just days ago, Elon Musk said Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) would no longer accept Bitcoin for auto purchases, citing “rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for Bitcoin mining,” as quoted by CNBC. In addition, Musk tweeted, “We are also looking at other cryptocurrencies that use <1% of Bitcoin’s energy/transaction.” As a result, Proof of Stake (PoS), and PoS-related stocks like Tokens.com Corp. (NEO:COIN)(FSE:76M) have benefited. After all, PoS cryptocurrencies are far different that your Proof of Work (PoW) cryptocurrencies. In fact, according to Decrypt.com, “PoW systems use huge amounts of energy to secure the network. Because PoS networks do not suck up the immense amount of energy consumed by PoW networks like the Bitcoin network, they are environmentally friendlier.”
“In addition, according to Tokens.com, “Apps related to DeFi and NFTs are the primary ones being used today, and while they’ve experienced significant attention and growth this year, DeFi and NFT applications are still in their infancy. If there’s also near-term adoption of PoS digital assets for global payments, it could be a substantial catalyst for Tokens.com since the Company generates revenue through transaction validation.”
The news could be just as substantial for PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ:PYPL), Square Inc. (NYSE:SQ), and MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR).
One of the Top Beneficiaries of Such News is Tokens.com Corp. (NEO:COIN)(FSE:76M)

The Company just announced its financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2021. All amounts in this news release are unaudited and, unless otherwise indicated, are in US dollars.
“In the first quarter of 2021, the capital we deployed into Staking technology produced an annualized return of 12.8%. Those returns were paid to us in digital assets that continued to appreciate, resulting in a return on our capital deployed in Staking in excess of 50% annualized,” said Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Tokens.com.
“In addition to the Staking revenues, the digital assets we use as tools to Stake appreciated by over 150%. Our model benefits from two forms of value creation: the revenue created from our operational Staking plus the appreciation of our digital assets used as tools for Staking. We perform transaction validation for blockchains that underpin the DeFi and NFT markets globally. It’s an incredibly asset-light, scalable model with an exciting global market opportunity that is still in the early stages.”
