ETERBASE – The First Fully Compliant Cryptocurrency Exchange

ETERBASE is seeking to become the first fully compliant cryptocurrency exchange. One of the ways they are doing this is through the acquisition of an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license, as well as putting a focus on regulatory compliance. The whitepaper outlines in detail its procedures regarding KYC, GDPR, and AML requirements.

ETERBASE and the EMI License.

The acquisition of an EMI license will mean that ETERBASE can clear EUR payments directly, without needing to avail of the services of a third party. With the acquisition, ETERBASE can deal in e-money, which is electronic money backed by fiat.

EMI license acquisition means that ETERBASE can operate in the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) without banks. And just like a bank, they will be granted the ability to issue international bank account numbers (IBANs) to customers. The EMI license covers thirty European countries. SEPA currently serves over 500 million people and 20 million businesses.

What this means is that the ETERBASE cryptocurrency exchange would be held to the same regulatory standards, and provide the same services, as a bank. Customers would have access to a more integrated range of services on a single platform, and it would be easier to make transactions without worrying about legal, financial, and taxation issues. This is a recurring issue with present exchanges which are not regulated.

ETERBASE Competition

Coinbase in the USA recently acquired RIA and broker-dealer licenses from the SEC. It has also established a crypto index fund, expanded to Japan, and improved its Coinbase Commerce product to reach millions of online vendors. The VCTRADE exchange recently launched in Japan, backed by SBI Holdings, and Fidelity Investments are said to be interested in opening their own cryptocurrency exchange.

However, ETERBASE was designed specifically to be regulatory compliant, and it is ahead of its competitors, with the possible exception of Coinbase in the USA. The platform is aiming to be a fully regulated ecosystem that will be secure, efficient, and compliant. It has no real competitors in the EU region and will be the first cryptocurrency exchange to acquire an EMI license, putting it further ahead.

The European parliament recently voted to increase regulations on cryptocurrency exchanges, and exchanges which do not conform to standards will be unable to operate, as the DLT ecosystem evolves. Institutional investors will not invest in unregulated exchanges, but only in those that are fully secure and thoroughly regulated.

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. However, in the post-industrial society changes in the shape, sense and affordability of education finally began. According to Alvin Toffler, a well-known US sociologist, the emergence of the post-industrial society is a consequence of the intellectual revolution. The possession of knowledge and information will replace financial capital as the biggest value. Development of innovations, empowered by the most educated, will become the most important sector of economy. It means that high-quality affordable education will become even more important than now. 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

After GDPR effect? In A Post Cookie World, Blockchain Is Rising

Gambar
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. However, for the digital advertising industry, consent is far less
