Netlist, Inc. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nlst#OTC">NLST</a>) recently announced a legal victory in a patent infringement trial against Micron Technology&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mu#NASDAQ">MU</a>) and its subsidiaries (Micron Semiconductor Products, Inc. and Micron Technology Texas LLC). 
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas awarded Netlist a substantial $445 million damages award following a jury trial, which centered on two key Netlist patents - U.S. Patent Nos. 7,619,912 and 11,093,417. The products that were infringing the patent were all of Micron&#39;s DDR4 RDIMMs and DDR4 LRDIMMs. 
The tribunal&#39;s unanimous verdict not only confirmed the infringement but also ruled that Micron had &quot;wilfully infringed&quot; these patents. The compensation granted covers the period from April 2021 to May 2024 for the &#39;912 patent and from August 2021 to May 2024 for the &#39;417 patent. 
NLST highlighted that this legal win marks the second successful case in a relatively short period where a global semiconductor giant has been found to wilfully infringe Netlist&#39;s patents. 
In 2023, Samsung was found guilty of wilfully infringing NLST&#39;s patent technologies, such as HBM and DDR5 that form the bedrock for generative AI computing. In terms of compensation, NLST received more than $303 million as a reasonable royalty for Samsung&#39;s violation of its patents for a short past damages period and pre and post-judgment interest in addition to costs. 
Based in Irvine, CA, NLST is a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance memory subsystems for OEMs across the globe. Its rich portfolio of patented technologies provides cost-effective solutions backed by top performance and high density. The patents are from the fields of, storage class memory, hybrid memory, rank multiplication and load reduction and others. 
In the last reported quarter, NLST&#39;s net sales soared 297% year over year to $35.8 million, driven by solid momentum in the memory market. The top line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.31%. 
However, it reported a loss of 7 cents per share for the March quarter, the same as the prior-year figure. The loss was wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 5 cents. 
NLST currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). The stock has lost 60.4% in the past year against the sub-industry&#39;s growth of 128.1%.

Netlist&nbsp;announced that it won a&nbsp;$445 million&nbsp;damages award against Micron Technology, Inc., Micron Semiconductor Products, Inc. and Micron Technology Texas LLC (together &quot;Micron&quot;) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
The award resulted from a jury trial, and involved two Netlist patents: U.S. Patent Nos. 7,619,912 and 11,093,417. The infringing products were all Micron DDR4 RDIMMs and DDR4 LRDIMMs.

Netlist Says It Will Get $445M In Patent Infringement Trial Against Micron In United States District Court For Eastern District of Texas

Micron Technology&nbsp;Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) has&nbsp;been ordered&nbsp;to pay $445 million in damages to&nbsp;Netlist&nbsp;Inc&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NLST#OTC">NLST</a>) for infringing on Netlist&#8217;s patents related to high-performance memory-module technology.
The decision was reached by&nbsp;a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, reported Reuters.
Netlist had accused Micron of using its patented technology to improve the capacity and performance of memory modules in semiconductor-memory products.
The jury found Micron&#8217;s infringement to be willful, which might allow the judge to increase the damages up to threefold.
&#8220;We are grateful for the jury&#8217;s service, and their recognition of the importance of Netlist&#8217;s innovation,&#8221; said Netlist attorney Jason Sheasby, which the report quoted.
This&nbsp;follows a previous $303 million verdict Netlist secured against&nbsp;Samsung Electronics Co Ltd&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) last year in the same court.
The lawsuit filed by Netlist in 2022 claimed&nbsp;that Micron&#8217;s semiconductor memory-module lines infringed on three of its patents.
Micron had denied the allegations and contested the validity of Netlist&#8217;s patents.&nbsp;In April, a U.S. Patent and Trademark Office tribunal invalidated one of the patents, which could&nbsp;potentially&nbsp;reduce the damages awarded.

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however, they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any shareholder who owns at least 10% of a company. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Important Transaction Codes</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A indicates the insider may have been forced to sell shares in order to receive compensation that had been promised upon being hired by the company.

President At This Information Technology Company Sells $521K of Stock

While July gave markets around the world a breather, August reestablished 2022&rsquo;s choppy financial conditions.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY) declined by 4.08% in August, its fifth month of decline in 2022. The Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) mirrored this downward trend, showing monthly decreases of 4.59% and 3.96%, respectively, in August.
Given the possibility &mdash; some think <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/interest-rate">probability</a> &mdash; that the Federal Reserve will hike rates yet again in September, and the fact that global economies are <a href="https://blogs.imf.org/2022/07/26/global-economic-growth-slows-amid-gloomy-and-more-uncertain-outlook/#:~:text=Inflation%20this%20year%20is%20anticipated,projected%20to%20remain%20elevated%20longer.">experiencing</a> growing inflationary pressures, investor sentiment appears to have altered course in August when compared to July. While some warn that the U.S. may be heading into a <a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/long-moderate-and-painful-what-next-us-recession-may-look-like-1.1787303">prolonged</a> recession, others report that recent macroeconomic data &mdash; like a 3.7% <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/economy-politics/calendar">unemployment</a> rate &mdash; do not support this argument.
Even as ambiguity surrounds the market&rsquo;s future movements, OTC Markets Group Inc.&rsquo;s (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>) regulated markets experienced a slight increase in total monthly volume in August, recording $39.3 billion in trades for the month compared to $37.3 billion in July. Additionally, two Ethereum-based securities found themselves in improved positions on the OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s Most Active list.&nbsp;
Finally, a number of new securities have emerged on the OTCQX Best Market and OTCQB Venture Market, which could potentially be of interest to investors despite the relatively bearish sentiment experienced throughout the month and year so far. Both the OTCQX Best Market and the OTCQB Venture Market maintained a significant international presence in August, with over half of the top most-traded securities across both markets being composed of international operators.
<h3>A Dive Into The OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s Most-Active List</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded $7 billion in trades in August, a figure that has been relatively unchanged since July.&nbsp;
Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>) rose to the top of OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s most-active list, while steadfast performers Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>) and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>) slotted in as the second and third most-traded securities.&nbsp;
Additionally, OTCQX&rsquo;s top 10 most-active securities experienced a slight reshuffle in August, welcoming Imperial Brands PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/imbby#OTCQX">IMBBY</a>), a multinational tobacco company, and Computer Services Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/csvi#OTCQX">CSVI</a>). The two displace Danone S.A. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>) and Zurich Insurance Group Ltd. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/zurvy#OTCQX">ZURVY</a>), two usuals in the OTCQX&rsquo;s Top 10 Most Active list.
Despite poor market conditions around the globe, the OTCQX Best Market has managed to maintain its hold on a number of industries, as demonstrated by the constituents of its Most Active list. Below are some of the companies on the list along with their relevant specialties:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Infineon Technologies AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ifnny#OTCQX">IFNNY</a>): Semiconductor solutions.</li>
<li>BASF SE (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/basfy#OTCQX">BASFY</a>) (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bffaf#OTCQX">BFFAF</a>): Chemical manufacturing.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>): Digital currency investment product</li>
<li>Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tcnnf#OTCQX">TCNNF</a>): Cannabis sales and cultivation.</li>
<li>Heineken N.V. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/heiny#OTCQX">HEINY</a>): Alcohol manufacturing and distribution.</li>
</ul>
Of the 30 securities on the Most Active list, 22 were international operators. Some of these were new faces like the United Kingdom&rsquo;s Imperial Brands and Canada&rsquo;s Reconnaissance Energy Africa Ltd. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/recaf#OTCQX">RECAF</a>), while some regulars like Germany&rsquo;s Adidas AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>) and the United Kingdom&rsquo;s Anglo American PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ngloy#OTCQX">NGLOY</a>) were also present.
Other notable volume movers:
<ul>
<li>Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/etcg#OTCQX">ETCG</a>) claimed the 23rd spot on the OTCQX&rsquo;s Most Active list, experiencing a 112% increase in trading volume.</li>
</ul>
<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market Experiences A Reshuffle In August</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded $601 million in trades in August, an increase from July&rsquo;s $463 million figure.
Like the OTCQX Best Market, the OTCQB Venture Market&rsquo;s Top 10 Most Active list saw two new entries. Specifically, American Lithium Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/liacf#OTCQB">LIACF</a>) and Todos Medical Ltd.

A Quick Look At The OTC Markets' Most-Active Securities In August - Here's What You Need to Know

July gave world markets a breather from 2022&rsquo;s poor financial conditions.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY) increased 9.21% in July, its highest monthly price ascension since November 2020. The Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) displayed similar optimism, showing monthly increases of 12.51% and 6.78%, respectively, in July.
The market has reacted favorably to some recent developments, including The Federal Reserve&rsquo;s decision to maintain rather than increase interest rates as well as the release of this <a href="https://www.bls.gov/">report</a>, which reveals that 528,000 jobs have been added to the economy. Some expert traders, however, remain skeptical of July&rsquo;s bullish movement, noting the similarity of this rally to the one experienced in 2008. The latter was followed by a second wave of downward movement that stretched over months.
As ambiguity simmers surrounding market sentiment, OTC Markets Group Inc.&rsquo;s (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>) regulated markets experienced a slight decrease in total monthly volume, recording $37.3 billion in July compared to $45.2 billion in June.
Despite the decrease, a number of new securities have emerged onto the OTCQX Best Market and OTCQB Venture Market, possibly demonstrating the ability to attract interest in a wide range of industries. Both the OTCQX Best Market and the OTCQB Venture Market maintained a significant international presence, with over half of the top most-traded securities across both markets composed of international operators.
<h3>A Dive Into The OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s Most-Active List</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded $7 billion in trading volume in July, a decrease from June&rsquo;s $9 billion.
Weathering the storm of decreasing volume are the OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s steadfast volume performers Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>), Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>) and Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>). In July, Roche Holding reaped the most trading volume as opposed to Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, which took that spot in June.
Additionally, OTCQX&rsquo;s top 10 most-active securities experienced a slight reshuffle in July, welcoming BASF SE (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/basfy#OTCQX">BASFY</a>) and Zurich Insurance Group Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/zurvy#OTCQX">ZURVY</a>) in place of Experian plc (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/expgy#OTCQX">EXPGY</a>) and Tesco PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tscdy#OTCQX">TSCDY</a>).
Despite decreasing month-on-month volume figures, the OTCQX Best Market has managed to maintain its hold on a number of industries, as demonstrated by the constituents of its Most Active list. Below are some of the companies and their relevant specialties:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Danone S.A. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>): Healthcare.</li>
<li>Infineon Technologies AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ifnny#OTCQX">IFNNY</a>): Semiconductor solutions.</li>
<li>BASF SE (OTCQX: BASFY; BFFAF): Chemical manufacturing.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>): Cryptocurrency mining.</li>
<li>Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tcnnf#OTCQX">TCNNF</a>): Cannabis sales and cultivation.</li>
<li>Heineken N.V. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/heiny#OTCQX">HEINY</a>): Alcohol manufacturing and distribution.</li>
</ul>
Similar to June, 23 of the 30 Most Active constituents on the OTCQX Best Market were international operators. Some of these included new faces like Switzerland&rsquo;s Zurich Insurance Group and Germany&#39;s BASF SE, but regulars like Germany&rsquo;s Adidas AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>) and the United Kingdom&rsquo;s Anglo American PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ngloy#OTCQX">NGLOY</a>) were also present.
Other notable movers:
<ul>
<li>Ayr Wellness Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ayrwf#OTCQX">AYRWF</a>) claimed the No. 30 spot on the OTCQX&rsquo;s list of most-traded securities, experiencing a 150% change in trading volume from last month.</li>
</ul>
<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market Experiences A Reshuffle In July</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded $463 million in trading volume in July, a decline from June&rsquo;s $603 million figure.
July introduced several new entities to the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 10 Most Active list. Stem-cell specialist Stemtech Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stek#OTCQB">STEK</a>) and mining operator Brazil Minerals Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bmix#OTCQB">BMIX</a>) were among the new additions.
Similar to June, the OTCQB Venture Market witnessed a number of novelties in July. In addition to three new companies, all three of the most-traded securities in the market changed. June&rsquo;s OTCQB Most Active leaders Freddie Mac (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fmcc#OTCQB">FMCC</a>) and Lake Resources (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/llkkf#OTCQB">LLKKF</a>) made way for biotech operator CytoDyn Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cydy#OTCQB">CYDY</a>) and computer memory subsystems specialist Netlist Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nlst#OTCQB">NLST</a>).
Thirteen international securities landed a spot on the OTCQB Venture Market&rsquo;s Most Active list. Of these 13, three are Australian, eight are Canadian, one is British and one is from Hong Kong.
Other notable movers:
<ul>
<li>Snowline Gold Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/snwgf#OTCQB">SNWGF</a>) climbed to 15th place in the Most Active list and recorded a $3.8 million rise in trading volume compared to last month.&nbsp;</li>
<li>88 Energy Ltd. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eeenf#OTCQB">EEENF</a>) climbed to 13th place in the Most Active list and recorded a $3.5 million rise in trading volume compared to last month.</li>

These 2 Under-The-Radar Stocks Traded More Than $1B Each Last Month

Reflecting the expected conditions of a bear market, many of the world&rsquo;s indices saw a decrease in price throughout June.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY), for example, declined 8.26% in June, a very similar decline to the one seen in April. The SPY&rsquo;s maximum decline since its peak in January is 24%, falling within the standard definition of a bear market.&nbsp;
The Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) displayed similar weakness, showing declines of 8.7% and 6.78%, respectively, in June.
Despite the decline in market indices and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), OTC Markets Group Inc.&rsquo;s (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>) regulated markets experienced a slight increase in total monthly dollar volume, recording $45.2 billion in June compared to $44.5 billion in May. Additionally, the operator saw former cryptocurrency and mortgage financiers return to the helm of the Most Actively Traded Securities list on two of its regulated markets.&nbsp;
Both the OTCQX Best Market and the OTCQB Venture Market maintained a significant international presence, with over half of the top most-traded securities across both markets composed of international operators.
<h3>Crypto Reclaims The Helm Of The OTCQX Best Market Most-Active Securities&nbsp;</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded $9 billion in trading volume in June, a decrease from May&rsquo;s $11 billion.&nbsp;
Despite the decrease in volume, former leaders have begun to reclaim their place among the Most Active Securities list. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>), for example, has reclaimed its spot as the most-traded security on the OTCQX Best Market, followed by May&rsquo;s leader Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>) and Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>).&nbsp;
Additionally, the OTCQX&rsquo;s top 10 most-active securities experienced a slight reshuffle in June, welcoming&nbsp;
Experian PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/expgy#OTCQX">EXPGY</a>) and Tesco PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tscdy#OTCQX">TSCDY</a>) in place of AXA SA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/axahy#OTCQX">AXAHY</a>) and Sprott Physical Uranium Trust Fund (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sruuf#OTCQX">SRUUF</a>).
International operators, once again, maintained a strong presence on OTCQX, comprising 23 of the top 30 securities, down from 24 in May. France&rsquo;s BNP Paribas SA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpqy#OTCQX">BNPQY</a>) and Germany&rsquo;s Infineon Technologies AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ifnny#OTCQX">IFNNY</a>) and adidas AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>) were again on the OTCQX top 10 most-active securities, while Mexico&rsquo;s Wal-Mart De Mexico S.A.B. de C.V. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wmmvy#OTCQX">WMMVY</a>) and Australia&rsquo;s Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fsugy#OTCQX">FSUGY</a>) made it among June&rsquo;s top 30 most-active securities.
Other notable movers:
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Danone (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>) claimed fourth place on the OTCQX&rsquo;s list of most-traded securities, experiencing a 160% change in trading volume from last month.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market Welcomes Back Mortgage Financiers</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded $603 million in trading volume in June, a decline from May&rsquo;s $896 million figure.
June introduced two new entities to the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 10 Most-Traded Securities list. Biotech operator CytoDyn Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cydy#OTCQB">CYDY</a>) and aerospace and defense company Applied Energetics Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aerg#OTCQB">AERG</a>) represent the new faces on the list.
Similar to May, the OTCQB Venture Market witnessed a number of novelties in June. In addition to two new companies, all three of the top most-traded securities in the market changed. Mortgage financiers Fannie Mae (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fnma#OTCQB">FNMA</a>) and Freddie Mac (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fmcc#OTCQB">FMCC</a>) reclaimed their positions as the first- and third-most traded securities and Lake Resources (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/llkkf#OTCQB">LLKKF</a>) claimed its spot as the second most-traded security.
All three former &ldquo;Most Active Top 3s&rdquo; &ndash; Northwest Biotherapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nwbo#OTCQB">NWBO</a>), Sysorex Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sysx#OTCQB">SYSX</a>) and Netlist Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nlst#OTCQB">NLST</a>) &ndash; remain on the OTCQB&rsquo;s Venture Market Top 10 Most Active Securities list, potentially hinting at sustained investor interest.
Twelve international securities landed a spot among the top 30 most-traded securities. Of these 12 securities, eight are Canadian, two are Australian, one is English, and one is from Hong Kong.&nbsp;
Other notable movers:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Wiki Soft Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wsft#OTCQB">WSFT</a>) climbed to 12th place in the most-active group and recorded a $6.6 million rise in trading volume compared to last month.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Sharing Economy International Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/seii#OTCQB">SEII</a>) experienced a $3.7 million increase in trading volume compared to May, climbing to 19th place on the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 30.&nbsp;</li>

Mortgage Financiers & Crypto Securities Reclaim Their Spots As Most Actively Traded Securities On OTC Markets In June

Reflecting the world&rsquo;s uncertainty about the U.S. economy, the market&rsquo;s major indices saw incredible volatility in May.&nbsp;
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track major indices tell this story with relative clarity. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY), for example, reached a high of $429.66 and hit a low of $380.54 in May before closing at $412.93. The Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) displayed similar erratic behavior.&nbsp;
Despite the volatility of the market, OTC Markets Group Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>)&rsquo;s regulated markets&nbsp; experienced a steady increase in total monthly dollar volume, recording $44.5 billion in May compared to $40.6 billion in April. Additionally, the operator saw a former OTCQB Venture Market security springboard onto the OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s List of 10 Most Active Securities in the same month it <a href="https://financialpost.com/globe-newswire/otc-markets-group-welcomes-sprott-physical-uranium-trust-to-otcqx">upgraded</a> from the OTCQB. .&nbsp;
Both the OTCQX Best Market and the OTCQB Venture Market maintained significant international presence, recording a total of 39 international operators among the top most-traded securities in each market.&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQX Best Market Most-Active Securities Welcomes New Faces</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded $11 billion in trading volume in May, an increase from April&rsquo;s $10.5 billion figure.&nbsp;
Retaining their spots as first-, second- and third-most traded securities on the OTCQX Best Market are&nbsp; Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>), Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>) and Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>).&nbsp;
The OTCQX&rsquo;s top 10 most-active securities experienced a slight reshuffle in May, welcoming AXA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/axahy#OTCQX">AXAHY</a>), Danone (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>) and OTCQB graduate Sprott Physical Uranium Trust Fund (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sruuf#OTCQX">SRUUF</a>). Having been the most-traded security on the OTCQB Venture Market last month, Sprott was the ninth most-traded security on the OTCQX just one month later.
International operators, once again, maintain a strong presence on OTCQX composing 24 of the top 30 securities, up from 21 in April. France&rsquo;s BNP Paribas S.A. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpqy#OTCQX">BNPQY</a>) and Germany&rsquo;s Infineon Technologies AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ifnny#OTCQX">IFNNY</a>) and adidas AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>) were again on the OTCQX top 10 most-active securities, while Norway&rsquo;s Norsk Hydro ASA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nhydy#OTCQX">NHYDY</a>) and Ireland&rsquo;s Experian plc (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/expgy#OTCQX">EXPGY</a>) made it among May&rsquo;s top 30 most-active securities.
Other notable movers:
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Royal DSM NV (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rdsmy#OTCQX">RDSMY</a>) claimed 15th place on the OTCQX&rsquo;s list of most-traded securities, experiencing a 160% change in trading volume from last month.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Repsol S.A. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/repyy#OTCQX">REPYY</a>) claimed 25th place on the OTCQX&rsquo;s list of most-traded securities, experiencing a 111% change in trading volume from last month.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market Welcomes A New Leading Company As Sprott Graduates To The OTCQX</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded $896 million in trading volume in May, a decline from April&rsquo;s $1.1 billion figure.&nbsp;
May introduced three new entities to the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 10 Most-Traded Securities list. Government services operator Sysorex Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sysx#OTCQB">SYSX</a>), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac) (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fmcc#OTCQB">FMCC</a>) and portfolio management company Phoenix Rising Co. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/prcx#OTCQB">PRCX</a>) represent the new faces on the block.
Newness seemed almost a theme in the OTCQB Venture Market in May. In addition to three new faces, all three of the top most-traded securities in the market changed with Northwest Biotherapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nwbo#OTCQB">NWBO</a>), Sysorex Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sysx#OTCQB">SYSX</a>) and Netlist Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nlst#OTCQB">NLST</a>) taking positions as first, second and third most traded, respectively.
Fifteen international securities landed a spot among the top 30 most-traded securities. Of these 15 securities, nine are Canadian, three are Australian, one is English, one is South African and one is Swiss.&nbsp;
Other notable movers:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Crimson Wine Group Ltd. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cwgl#OTCQB">CWGL</a>) climbed to 24th place in the most-active group and recorded a $2.3 million rise in trading volume compared to last month.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Valour Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/deftf#OTCQB">DEFTF</a>) &mdash; formerly DeFi Technologies &mdash; experienced a $1.8 million increase in trading volume compared to March, climbing to 28th place on the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 30.&nbsp;</li>

As the year drew to a close, the OTC Markets realized an expected slump in trading volume compared to November; however, trading is still up compared to previous years.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/santa-claus-rally">Santa Rally</a> may have steered investors&rsquo; attention towards the S&amp;P 500 Exchange-Traded Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spy#NYSE">SPY</a>), which closed at an all-time high and recorded 1.9 billion in trading volume. The fall in Bitcoin&rsquo;s (BTC) price and the stalling of cannabis legislation were likely other factors that influenced the change.
Despite these drawbacks, some securities on the OTCQX and OTCQB experienced unexpected increases in trading volume, potentially hinting at their ability to sustain interest amid activity in other markets.&nbsp;
<h2>OTCQX: Cryptocurrency Leaders Shift and Cannabis Operators Stall</h2>
12 of the top 20 traded securities on the OTCQX experienced a reduction in trading volume, resulting in an average decline of 12% across the top 20 in December.
Cryptocurrency miner Voyager Digital Ltd. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vygvf#OTCQX">VYGVF</a>) experienced a 69% decrease compared to last month, while leaders Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>) decreased 17% and Grayscale <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/is-ethereum-a-good-investment/">Ethereum</a> Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>) decreased 8%. Cannabis operators Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tcnnf#OTCQX">TCNNF</a>) and Verano Holdings Corp. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vrnof#OTCQX">VRNOF</a>) followed suit with a 31% and 40% drop in trading volume as compared to last month.
Interestingly, despite the fall in trading volume for both securities, Grayscale <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/is-ethereum-a-good-investment/">Ethereum</a> Trust has usurped Grayscale Bitcoin Trust as the most traded security on the OTCQX for the first time in months. The two companies, along with Roche Holdings AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>), remain the top three traded on the OTCQX, with a collective dollar volume of more than $10.4 billion in December.
adidas AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>) and Akzo Nobel N.V. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/akzoy#OTCQX">AKZOY</a>) experienced increases in trading volume in December. Adidas AG&rsquo;s trading volume rose to slightly over $300 million marking a 51% increase from the prior month, and Akzo Nobel an even larger 86% increase in the same period. Other companies like Roche Holdings, Deutsche Telekom AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dtegy#OTCQX">DTEGY</a>) and Novonix Ltd. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvnxf#OTCQX">NVNXF</a>) also saw increases in trading volume with smaller magnitudes.&nbsp;
<h2>OTCQB&nbsp;</h2>
In the OTCQB, 13 of the 20 top traded securities experienced a reduction in trading volume, with DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dmggf#OTCQB">DMGGF</a>) and American Lithium Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/liacf#OTCQB">LIACF</a>) bearing the strongest decreases.
Fannie Mae, or the Federal National Mortgage Association (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fnma#OTCQB">FNMA</a>), Freddie Mac, or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fmcc#OTCQB">FMCC</a>) and Netlist Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nlst#OTCQB">NLST</a>) retained their spots as the first-, second- and third-most traded securities, while trading volume on Galaxy Next Generation Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gaxy#OTCQB">GAXY</a>) increased from the prior month.
Notably, Cypress Development Corp. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cydvf#OTCQX">CYDVF</a>) graduated from the OTCQB Venture Market to the OTCQX Best Market on Dec. 21, 2021.&nbsp;
<h2>International Presence</h2>
Internationally, half of the top 20 traded securities on the OTCQX come from outside North America. Switzerland&rsquo;s Roche Holdings AG maintained its spot as the third-most traded OTCQX security, while Germany&rsquo;s adidas AG came in fourth. France&rsquo;s Danone (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>) and BNP Paribas SA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpqy#OTCQX">BNPQY</a>) came in seventh and eighth, maintaining a significant hold on interest from the prior month.
Among international operators, United Kingdom&rsquo;s Anglo American plc (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ngloy#OTCQX">NGLOY</a>) experienced the third-largest volume increase, realizing a 48% month-on-month change. Meanwhile, The Netherland&rsquo;s Akzo Nobel N.V. experienced the largest volume increase with an 86% change compared to November.&nbsp;

These OTC Securities Had the Most Trading Activity in December

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Important</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however an insider transaction can be an important factor in the investing decision. 
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any shareholder who owns at least 10% of a company. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Transaction Codes To Focus On</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A indicates the insider may have been forced to sell shares in order to receive compensation that had been promised upon being hired by the company.

<ul>
<li>Shares look to have broken out of what technical traders call a pennant pattern. The stock looks to be possibly holding above the pattern support line and now acting as a higher low trendline.</li>
<li>The stock was pinched between narrowing highs and lows before the pattern resistance was broken. This break is signaling a breakout and an above-average volume day sent the stock higher Monday.</li>
<li>The stock trades above both the 50-day moving average (green)&nbsp;and the 200-day moving average (blue), indicating the stock is seeing bullish sentiment.</li>
<li>Each of these moving averages may hold as a possible area of support in the future.</li>
<li>The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been trending higher the past couple of weeks and now sits 68. This shows that more buyers have stepped into the stock in the past few weeks.</li>
