trade.io Enters Into Landmark Agreement to Purchase U.S.A. Regulated Broker Dealer

Upcoming ICO, trade.io has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to purchase a New York City based broker/dealer (“BD”). The BD is currently registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The purchase will be subject to regulatory approval by FINRA under Rule 1017 among other reasonable and customary conditions and terms.

Once FINRA has provided its consent and the transaction has been completed, trade.io intends to use the existing, and eventually expanded, business lines of the BD to operate its contemplated U.S. oriented investment banking services in a regulatory compliant manner.

The move to purchase the US based entity comes on the heels of news that trade.io would be listed on the industry giant HitBTC exchange. The company also confirms that the acquisition was not financed by any funds from the PRE-ICO, of which close to $12 million was raised.

CEO, Jim Preissler commented on the major announcement, “As the trade.io community and the rest of the blockchain community has realized, we are very aggressive when it comes to preparing to execute on our initiatives.  We are simply not waiting for our ICO to be over to start moving, we are and have been making strategic moves for months now.”

On the regulation in the US, VP of Capital Markets for trade.io, William Heyn added, “Being able to conduct trade.io’s business in the United States in a regulatory compliant manner is critical.  The broker/dealer will afford us with tremendous opportunities and unlock many sources of revenue potential.”

According to the terms of the MOU trade.io and the BD will work jointly towards the execution of a definitive Purchase & Sale Agreement.

trade.io ICO is scheduled to start on December 7th, and has already amassed over 4,000 participants and close to $12M in PRE-ICO participation. Trade.io democratizes the markets and saves money for investors and companies through reducing and eliminating the tremendous fees and inefficiencies by utilizing its innovative Blockchain trading platform.

Transformation of education in post-industrial society

Gambar
Education has always been an expensive privilege; and the education sector has always been one of the most conservative. People chose profession once in their life and did not change it until retirement. Usually education meant studying at a university; self-taught people were rare.

According to Alvin Toffler, a well-known US sociologist, the emergence of the post-industrial society is a consequence of the intellectual revolution.

The last time when the global education experienced a serious transformation was at the very beginning of the 21st century when the wide access to the I...

The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was rolled out in May this year. It introduced far-reaching implications for companies which process personal data related to EU citizens. Even those far outside the EU could not fail to notice this change. Email inboxes were overflowing with opt-out reminders. Cookie banners now obscure many websites, forcing users to agree to a privacy policy so that they can browse the content on the site. Although the GDPR document itself clocks in at 88 pages, the majority of what it covers can be summed up in one word — consent. If companies are processing personal data, it must be done with the explicit, informed consent of the individual. For some forms of marketing, such as email subscriber lists, this involved minimal changes. Individuals already have to take the active step of providing their email addresses, and usually it is pretty clear why they are asked to do so.
