Psychedelics company Numinus Wellness Inc. (TSX: NUMI) (OTCQX: NUMIF) is starting to trade on the OTCQX Best Market, expanding its visibility and accessibility to American investors.
Numinus shares will start trading on the exchange at market open on Thursday under the symbol NUMIF. Previously, the firm traded on the OTC Pink market, which is the most speculative tier of over-the-counter exchanges.
To qualify for OTCQX Best, companies have to meet higher financial standards and follow best practices in corporate governance, as well as demonstrate compliance with security laws.
“As we grow our network of Numinus Health wellness clinics to include locations in the U.S. — and build a stronger brand presence in this important market — we will also look to establish an even greater profile with the U.S. investment community,” CEO Payton Nyquvest said in a statement.
