One of the most-watched programs in the Blockchain sector and has been seen by over 4-million viewers worldwide. Read Time: 1 minute and 58 secondsOn this segment of FINTECH.TV's Digital Asset Report (DAR), our host from New York City, Vince Molinari, is joined by the digital asset pioneer, Founder of Elevated Returns, Stephane De Baets to discuss the bleeding edge vs the leaning edge covering their experience together from Aspen Coin digital securities issuance to what is coming next. Trading minority securities positions in real estate is a tricky proposition when looking at public markets. Understanding this dilemma is where Stephane, Vince, and the team could architect a solution that integrated the paradigm, capabilities, and frictionless capabilities of blockchain technologies. The challenges present with issuing a New World security in a digital format, making the digital security then seamlessly tradable, with clearing, settlement, transfer agent, custodian, and similar components integrated for pioneering a frictionless future. Even still, in the Old World, it is very cumbersome to trade private securities issued under the 1933 Securities Act under Regulation D and tradable under the 1934 Securities Exchange Act rules and regulations for exempt sureties. Stephane, Elevated Returns, and his partners issued the digital security for a portion of the capital stack with a trophy asset in a wealthy MSA. Aspen, Colorado is home to many billionaires, innovators, and entrepreneurs that call the St. Regis home from time to time as extended vacations turn into a work adventure. The successful issuance of this prized asset in Aspen, Co. proved the concept of trading assets 1:1 without having to liquidate the entire property, investment, or formerly illiquid asset class. Previously, these assets generally qualified for "hard money," bank funds, or institutional capital that tapped into REITs, "big boy" funds, and similar facilities only available to a limited few.Digital securities offer new ways for investors to gain exposure to secure asset classes through innovation using blockchain technology mapped with securities laws, regulation, and compliance requirements. Only if a small bit of the entire value is securitized, tokenized, and similar partial gains, we have gained a milestone event that will eventually prove network theory via Metcalfe and Reed's Laws. Exchange and regulatory compliance with the right partners that understand how to address - tZero is the leader in this space, says Stephane. Vince adds both Computershare into the mix that worked very closely with FINTECH.TV's Executive Director in NYC to architect their blockchain settlement solution from day one. Always a small world. We hope you enjoy this informative segment on digital securities, assets being traded on trusted trustless systems using fully compliant technology systems, and how the ecosystem is going from alpha/beta into a commercialized network of buying, selling, issuing, and pricing digital securities unlike ever before.

One of the most-watched programs in the Blockchain sector and has been seen by over 4-million viewers worldwide. On this segment of FINTECH.TV's Digital Asset Report our host from Tel Aviv, Ziv Keinan, is joined by the cyber security expert, CEO of Konfidas, Ram Levi discusses how to be prepared during the increased risk with everyone working from home during Covid-19 for cyber attacks.Ram explains how Konfidas approaches cybersecurity for their clients around the world. Managed services for small businesses for a cost-benefit solution to secure the enterprise without the prohibitive costs associated with Old World roadblocks. The attacks surfaces have been increased during this work-from-home phenomena as represented by a 60% increase reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigations in the United States of America on cyber attacks. From remote desktops, to vulnerable networks, to social hacking, June 2020 had more attacks reported than the entire year of 2019. Yes, ransomware attacks have grown to a point of major concern as the majority of companies are no where close to prepared.Similar to Russia attacking Ukraine for political instability, it is not always about money as many times the state actors are disrupting the system and bringing these companies and people to their knees. Small companies are not always reporting these breaches - and overall cybersecurity attacks - unless they are forced to to claim insurance or gdpr protocol or similar forces that bring these issues to light.The nature of DLT as utilized by blockchain architecture is extremely secure. The computers, equipment, and systems that access these distributed ledger technology blockchain systems are absolutely not secure. This is a hacker's dream providing a point of access by leveraging the weakest node in the network of accessing secure data. Ram Levi and Ziv Kenan had a great time on this exclusive interview on FINTECH.TV and we hope you will enjoy it just as much staying up-to-date on the pulse of security in the digital New World.

By 2025, it is projected that embedded finance companies will grow 5x by the year 2025, from a $22.5B total market valuation to over $250B. Embedded finance allows businesses to deliver more tailored solutions that improve customer retention and maximize the value of any platform - so it is no wonder the valuation is so high. With financial tools built right into a specific set of services, users can experience a more seamless solution that allows them to transact and handle their business in a more modern and frictionless manner.  Despite the outstanding outlook for embedded finance that many professional projections have shown, it still has a ways to go until it reaches the level of value that has been predicted for it. For example, Uber announced back in 2019 it was going to be investing heavily in fintech upgrades that would include, among other things, UberPay. UberPay was an exciting announcement that was huge for the embedded finance trend. It would have ushered in one of the first mainstream embedded finance platforms that gave users instant payments, digital wallets, and other forward-thinking embedded finance tools. Despite the hype, Uber recently announced that they had scrapped plans for this rollout, effectively putting a small, yet insignificant, road bump in the path to widespread embedded finance. While they have called it quits on embedded finance, for now, they are expected to re-establish these plans later on down the road when their finances get back on track.  Other companies such as Google, Amazon, Intuit, Shopify, and even WeChat have begun rolling out embedded finance features in the form of instant payments and more exciting features such as investments. These companies are pioneering the embedded finance landscape and have already shown that non-fintech companies can benefit from integrating fintech services into their user experience.  Where Did Embedded Finance Come From?  Aside from the logical integration of payments into various industries and their corresponding platforms, embedded finance was born due to the presence of interconnected technology companies.  This was a result of what is sometimes referred to as the unbundling of banks, which refers to the process of banking becoming more and more decentralized from a singular entity.  These companies, which include ecosystem builders, infrastructure providers, as well as infrastructure embedders, all contribute. All of these different providers consist of essential factors that all contribute to making embedded finance a reality.  One of the best examples of the fire-starters of embedded finance includes Plaid. Plaid was one of the most valuable startups ever with funding rounds, reaching $300 million, and recently they were acquired by Visa for a staggering $5.3B. Plaid was hugely important because it was one of the companies that enabled applications to integrate user's bank accounts into their platform directly.  This enabled banking to be built into nearly any industry. With simple banking at your fingertips, any application or platform could allow users to conduct financial dealings within their walls more efficiently and minimize the steps necessary to transact within their platform.  Why is Embedded Finance So Important?  Embedded finance is critical because it allows for professional and safe financial operations to be directly inputted into any platform. There are a few key reasons this new trend shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon:  Building FinTech Payment Rails is Difficult When a company brings in legal help, it does make that company a legal company. This is how financial tools work in embedded finance. They are not creating their own financial services (most often). In reality, they are embedding a tool designed to facilitate payments and financial processes on their platform. This is why companies such as Plaid have been able to experience such widespread success; they allow for deep and well-built financial solutions to be easily integrated into any platform. This makes it easier than ever for apps and platforms to offer protected and ready-to-go financial services.  Customer buying habits are changing with the new generation - Between 2014 and 2018, Amazon's consumer retail and total consumer spend tripled. This illustrates the influx of individuals into online marketplaces and their willingness to take advantage of more convenient and well-built digital platforms. A digital platform economy is emerging, one that is paving the way for radical changes in the way humans conduct work and create value.  Consumers under 55 are more open to new financial providers - This point is critical - for the new generation's willingness to use platforms other than banks to handle their money and pay for goods and services even further bolsters the valuation for embedded finance. According to research from Cornerstone Advisors, many Millenial consumers are willing to get a checking account from non-banking providers like Amazon, Google, and even Starbucks and Uber.  The Future of Embedded Finance Many companies are already showing their deep interest in embedded finance technology and are beginning to deliver innovation and creativity in their approach. For example, Shopify is a platform that has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to fintech, but recently they have gone even further. They recently announced an embedded lending service called Shopify Capital that makes it easier for business owners to get loans and simply repay it through their online sales.  Other companies such as Intuit have begun deeply integrating their customer's accounting experiences with embedded finance by creating a Quickbooks bank account for its users. This vertical integration of banking software makes it easier than ever before for users to handle all of their financial dealings within a single platform. As we can see from these trends, embedded finance is a no-brainer development in fintech that was inevitable due to the extremely simplified workflow, convenience, and evolving habits of younger consumers. Embedded finance is allowing layers of tech-driven financial services to be built on top of traditionally non-fintech companies. As these embedded finance companies continue to unbundle financial processes, the hierarchy of unbundling that we observe will be replicated in ecosystems around the world and will continue to evolve as consumers' habits do.

Abu Dhabi Edition One of the most-watched programs in the Blockchain sector and has been seen by over 4-million viewers worldwide. In this segment of FINTECH.TV's Digital Asset Report, our host from Abu Dhabi, Rachel Pether, is joined by the innovative CEO of WOM Protocol and Yeay, respectively - Melanie Mohr. Melanie explains how WOM has engineered a specific blockchain-based solution for word-of-mouth value reward, tracking, and earning for creators, authenticators, and the brand itself. Therefore, the brand backs the content that has met protocol consensus with alignment for monetizing content, distribution pathways, and the fine-grained controls necessary to give users, advertisers, and humans enhanced capabilities.Rachel and Melanie discuss the pressures from click-farms, monetizing content, and the need for independence, vis-a-vis, decentralization. This reverse-engineered approach for the WOM Protocol is purpose-built for creators to capture the value they add to the world. There is decentralization - and then there is spontaneous decentralization. FINTECH.TV describes this as "Briding the Grand Canyon" with new "Oracle-based" technologies that enforce smart-contracts, which means systems much trust each other. As these systems grow to trust each other and establish these new connections, we go from interoperability to the epoch of ubiquity as the Great Reset occurs in a post-COVID world.These veterans discuss how "on-chain" and "off-chain" information flows, tokens and the experience develops as regulations evolve, security matures, and markets shift the paradigm.

Abu Dhabi Edition One of the most-watched programs in the Blockchain sector and has been seen by over 4-million viewers worldwide. Join our host, Rachel Pether, on the Digital Asset Report from Abu Dhabi with Dave Chapman, Executive Director of BC Group and Co-founder of OSL. Previous investment banker (HSBC, Barclay's, Bearn Stearns, & others) and during 2012 came across the bitcoin revolution. In 2013 while Dave was in Hong Kong, he became fascinated with the decentralized nature and technology of bitcoin, and it was then when he understood what the future holds for the finance industry.Dave and his business partners understood the future of digital assets was most compelling when institutional adoption was achieved to dominate the space for those layer one providers. With the help of a strategic investor, they took control of a Honk Kong exchange call BC Group. BC Group created a wholly-owned group – OSL, which serves as a digital asset firm with the full intent to serve the financial institution and accredited investor communities. “Digital security tokens will disrupt capital markets.” – Dave Chapman, Executive DirectorMany traditional finance leaders of the Old World misunderstood the opportunity in bitcoin and decentralized technology, thinking that it wouldn’t be adopted. We are now witnessing significant jurisdictions around the world create regulations around the digital asset space (bitcoin, crypto, and security tokens). Some of the worldwide established brand names that are entering the space are, Standard Chartered, J.P. Morgan, Nomura, and TD Ameritrade. Bitcoin has validated its status as an asset class, receiving global regulatory clarity in the financial space. As well as exceptionally high-quality custodians that are providing the same level of insurance for the New World that any traditional custodian would of the Old World.
