February 2025 webinar ?
Temple Melville of Scotcoin will be talking about 'why Ripple is such a behemoth'. We'll also have Michael Beine of Bureau Veritas presenting on CRAcoWi - a tool chain for EU CRA compliance. Developed in response to the Cyber Resilience Act, CRACoWi provides essential tools and support to help SMEs, manufacturers, distributors, and importers meet new standards throughout the product lifecycle. Also: Practically all cryptocurrencies have not found a true use case. The exceptions are the stable coins like Tether and XRP, seen as a potential world circling payment gateway, with enough liquidity to handle anything thrown at it. Despite Tether snapping at the heels of Paypal in terms of volumes transacted, XRP has carved itself a niche as a bank assistant with proper regulatory oversight and licences. Register now and join host Chris Bennison on Thursday 27th February 2025.
