How Does EDG Operate Without Banks, Governments, or Dollars? EDG creates an innovative ecosystem where trust is anchored in tangible assets and transparent technology, eliminating reliance on traditional systems. Here's how: 1. Real Asset Backing Each EDG token is backed by physical gold, verified through strict SKR (Safe Keeping Receipt) and Proof of Reserve systems, ensuring every token represents actual gold reserves. 2. Blockchain Transparency All transactions are conducted on a decentralized blockchain, providing trust and traceability without intermediaries like banks or governments. 3. Global Accessibility EDG allows anyone, anywhere, to trade, store, or invest in gold without requiring financial institutions or fiat currency involvement. 4. Financial Independence By using EDG, individuals can bypass traditional monetary systems, gaining stable, asset-backed wealth that remains unaffected by economic or political instability. 5. Freedom from Taxes and Regulations Since physical gold does not undergo export or import processes, EDG operates free from export taxes and heavy government regulations, enabling a seamless trading environment. EDG combines the timeless value of gold with cutting-edge technology to usher in a new era of financial freedom. #TokenizedGold #Blockchain #FinancialRevolution #Decentralized #DigitalAssets #RegulationFree

It was an enriching week in Paris for the 2024 edition of the Paris Blockchain Week ! 🇫🇷   👉 A clear positive effect of Blackrock's Bitcoin ETF and GenAI on the blockchain and web3 ecosystems, as much as on the #institutionalization of blockchain and token-based networks by #financial and #public institutions. 👉 While blockchain and crypto are at a crossroads for adoption by institutions and traditional finance, mass adoption by people and traditional economy will obviously take some more time. 👉 In this respect, #regulation is still considered as a difficult issue when it comes to operationalizing rules on an international basis (even if, for Europe, MICA is seen as a local competitive advantage). 🔎 At Logion, we are more convinced than ever that regulating and protecting rights across jurisdictions is less a question of additional legal clarity than of integrating smoothly the foundations of the rule of law at the very heart of digital platforms, i.e. at the level of tokens and transactions (𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟-𝐨𝐟-𝐋𝐚𝐰 ⚖). A combination of #Technology, #Law and #ResponsiblePeople to support decentralized independent justice and dispute resolution. A week of meetings and exchanges with partners, friends and participants. Congrats to organizers, sponsors and speakers. #blockchain #adoption #tokenization #ProofofLaw #protection #responsibility #security

Yesterday, AMINA Bank’s Arik Gabay, Head of Client Lifecycle Management & Process Excellence, joined an expert panel at the Crypto Valley Association's Blockchain Research Symposium on the Future of Payments to discuss the evolving landscape of cross-border payments. The speakers explored: ⚪ The efficiency and security of the current cross-border payment systems. ⚪ How to address the challenges in cross-border settlements. ⚪ The transformative role of blockchain, crypto, AI, and smart contracts - in global payments. ⚪ Opportunities to enhance the speed and reliability of transactions. ⚪ The role of CBDCs and the impact of international regulations on the ecosystem. At AMINA Bank, we are dedicated to supporting the crypto ecosystem and driving financial innovation through education, dialogue and collaboration. We extend our gratitude to the Crypto Valley Association for hosting this impactful discussion and to Arik's fellow panelists: Ricardo Schlatter (Allegra Law), Olga K.

Last week, I completed and submitted the final milestone for the The Arbitrum Foundation(Arbitrum DAO) and Questbook grants. One of the most complex transactions in blockchain is a #cross-#chain, #cross-#asset #contract call. Consider a scenario where you have #USDC on #Polygon, but you want to end up with USDT on #Arbitrum for use in a savings protocol like #Aave. By default, this would require some good understanding of #blockchain and the different #protocols out there and it involves at a minimum the following transactions: - Swapping USDC to USDT - Bridging USDT to Arbitrum - Supplying USDT to Aave Achieving this involves at least six separate transactions and interacting with three major protocols—such as #Uniswap (or an #aggregator), a #bridge like #Across, and AAVE. Our Milestone 4 is dedicated to simplifying this process. With #Secuwa, instead of navigating multiple protocols, you can complete a cross-chain, cross-asset transaction like the one above in just two clicks. Yes, just two clicks!

As of 2024, the European Union has taken a monumental step forward with the adoption of the #MiCA regulation, signaling a pivotal moment for the cryptocurrency industry. Designed to harmonize regulations across the EU, #MiCA covers a spectrum of crypto assets, including #stablecoins, token issuers, exchanges, and wallet providers. The introduction of specialized rules for #stablecoin issuers, effective since June 2024, mandates licensing from national regulators. Moreover, all crypto asset service providers (CASPs) are set to comply with #MiCA by the year's end, underscoring the EU's commitment to fostering a secure and regulated digital economy. In this transformative landscape, innovative companies are already setting benchmarks. Take #CLAPART, for instance, pioneering the integration of blockchain technology to create unparalleled digital art pieces. Their approach not only showcases creativity but also underscores the potential of blockchain beyond financial applications. As #MiCA unfolds, businesses and investors alike must navigate these regulatory changes to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the digital asset space. Stay informed, adapt, and seize the potential of a regulated crypto market in Europe.
