ROSEN, GLOBAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages LuxUrban Hotels, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – LUXH

New York, New York – Newsfile Corp. – March 1, 2024 – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of LuxUrban Hotels, Inc. (NASDAQ: LUXH) between November 8, 2023 and February 2, 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important April 12, 2024 lead plaintiff motion.

SO WHAT: If you purchased LuxUrban securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the LuxUrban class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=22523 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 12, 2024. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) LuxUrban had not signed a lease with the Royalton Hotel, a four star hotel located in New York; (2) as a result, LuxUrban’s total reported units was overstated; (3) LuxUrban faced multiple lawsuits for unpaid rent; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about LuxUrban’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the LuxUrban class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=22523 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

CoinEx Releases 1st Brand Video: Interpreting the Bitcoin Halving and “Less Is More” Philosophy


BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 March 2024 – On the 2nd of March, global cryptocurrency exchange CoinEx released its first promo video on YouTube counting down to the highly anticipated Bitcoin halving in 2024. Titled “Coin In CoinEx”, the 2-minute ad encapsulates an industry milestone through the lens of CoinEx’s philosophy. Following up on their previous teaser video outdoor advertisement, you can find the full version of this mysterious promo video. For more updates, join CoinEx Thailand’s community to receive exclusive promotional information.

Storyline Transmits CoinEx’s Brand Mission Through The Lens of Bitcoin Halving

The 2-minute promo video depicts the transformative journey of a coin as it starts as an ordinary coin experiencing the ups and downs of real life. It enters the Web3 universe of CoinEx and transforms into a Bitcoin, embarking on a series of adventures in this new dimension tailored for coins.

Rather than a marketing stunt, the video showcases CoinEx’s tribute to a milestone that will help shape the future crypto landscape. It seems that the exchange aims to play a pivotal role in driving mainstream crypto adoption by making crypto trading simple and accessible to all – less entry barriers, more participation for all levels of users.

Scenes Highlighting Convenience, Professionalism, and Simplicity

In CoinEx CEO Haipo Yang’s tweets, the ethos behind Bitcoin’s halving aligns with CoinEx’s long-standing brand values – lowering crypto entry barriers, driving mainstream adoption, and simplifying the trading experience for users of all levels. Scenes throughout the video highlight CoinEx’s commitment to the “Less is More” philosophy in product refinement, listings, service, and security infrastructure as Haipo Yang has mentioned in his tweets. It seems that CoinEx has shown its determination and dedication to upholding the “professionalism” value within the CoinEx ecosystem.

Users can see how CoinEx’s advocacy for “Less is More” in its products, services, and brand philosophy resonates with the ethos behind Bitcoin halving. Although the halving entails reduced mining rewards in the short term, its design extends a long-term value for Bitcoin. Similarly, by streamlining complexity, CoinEx creates a seamless, professional, and secure trading experience that opens up crypto to users at all levels. As anticipation builds for Bitcoin halving, CoinEx spurs excitement around this momentous crypto event through an unconventional approach.
