XRP, Dogecoin, and Tradecurve Markets Could Change Your Life in the Next Bull Run – Don’t Miss Out

Total Media

In the fast-paced world of crypto, the key to making it is identifying promising tokens. As the crypto community eagerly anticipates the next bull run, three assets have emerged as potential life-changers: XRP (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Tradecurve Markets (TCRV). With this list backed by experts, it suggests their massive potential. >>Register For The Tradecurve Presale<< What is XRP? XRP is the digital currency powering the Ripple network, a cross-border payment protocol. Its competitive advantages include lightning-fast transaction speeds, scalability, and low fees. Moreover, XRP is a serious contender in the crypto scene, ranking as a top 5 cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Recent developments in XRP’s ecosystem position it for significant growth in the next bull run. These include partnerships with major financial institutions and payment companies, making it a compelling investment to position in. Furthermore, its successive victories in the ongoing legal battle against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) make it a major contender for explosive growth. Hence, for a life-changing opportunity, XRP represents a promising option. Is Dogecoin Deserving of the Hype? Dogecoin deserves all the hype it is currently receiving. As the first memecoin, it is the leading and most dominant token within the meme ecosystem. Also, Dogecoin is a top crypto in the broader market, ranking as a top 10 token. While it was once dismissed as a mere internet meme, it has evolved into a serious player in the crypto market. Moreover, as the leading meme token, Dogecoin is expected to be at the forefront of the next meme craze. Further, its strong and active community is only rivaled by a few. This will play a pivotal role in its surge in both the next memecoin frenzy and the bull run. Therefore, Dogecoin is well deserving of the hype it is witnessing, and it represents a life-changing crypto opportunity. >>Register For The Tradecurve Presale<< Tradecurve Markets: Explosive Growth Potential While XRP and Dogecoin have captured the attention of the crypto community as well-established cryptos, Tradecurve Markets (TCRV) is savvy investors’ wild card. As a project in its ICO phase but built on solid fundamentals, it has immense room for growth. According to industry experts, it will likely increase by 50x before the end of the year, minting crypto millionaires in the process. Its unique approach to trading is poised to take the trading world by storm. This novel concept revolves around the combination of the best features of centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges. Therefore, it will be a hybrid trading platform offering the best of both worlds. That isn’t all; it will also be an all-in-one trading platform where cryptocurrencies as well as financial instruments can be traded. These include forex, commodities, stocks, etc. In addition, users will be able to trade thousands of assets from a single account while enjoying complete anonymity. Other competitive edges include zero commission, tight spreads, and high leverage. With its presale ongoing, the raise of over $6.6 million indicates a high level of confidence among investors. This also hints at the potential for substantial returns in the upcoming bull run, coupled with its imminent adoption. At its current presale stage, it is priced at $0.03 per token, a low entry point for staggering returns.

NAVEX 2023 Regional Whistleblowing Hotline Benchmark Report Reveals Rise in Reports Across All Regions

NAVEX Global

NAVEX, the leader in integrated risk and compliance management software, today announced the publication of its 2023 Regional Whistleblowing Hotline Benchmark Report. Utilising over 1.5 million anonymised customer reports received in 2022, and with a focus on four geographic regions, NAVEX provides this annual analysis to help risk and compliance practitioners understand and benchmark their program performance against regional peers. This year, key findings include a boost in the volume of reports across all regions but with growing caution from reporters - as evidenced by an increase in anonymous reports. The study also highlights a reduction in health and safety reports, and a rise in HR-related reports. “NAVEX’s immense repository of industry data is one of a kind,” said Florian Haarhaus, International General Manager at NAVEX. “Our annual report’s data will empower Chief Compliance Officers in Europe to enhance their programs with benchmarking. This will help them continue to evolve the efficacy of their programs to drive business outcomes that matter most.” Report volumes increase; reporters become more cautious Median report volume per 100 employees rose for all regions comparing 2022 to 2021. As volumes increased, so has the share of reports submitted anonymously. Until only recently, reporters were far more likely to put their name to a report than in years past. This may reflect a greater sense of caution among workers in all regions, where generalised economic uncertainty and geopolitical instability could be contributing to an apparent retreat in named reporting. Interestingly, reports made by reporters based in Europe were the least likely to be anonymous. This suggests reporters in that region may have the least actual concern about retaliation. Organisations in the European Union faced the accelerating rollout of the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive during this period, which mandated many organisations in the bloc set up internal whistleblowing systems. The Directive explicitly protects whistleblowers from retaliation. Health & safety reports recede while HR-type reports grow; Europe retaliation holds steady As workers retrench, they are bringing workforce culture issues to the fore. This may indicate a greater focus on their current employer, versus confidence of finding a new job outside of their organisation. Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) reports were a smaller median share of total reports across all regions and measures in 2022 compared to 2021. This likely shows the decline of COVID-19’s prominence related to other issues around the world, whether viewed through the lens of where the organisation receiving the report is headquartered or where the report was submitted. The median share of HR, diversity, and workplace respect reports grew in importance across all regions and measures, likely reflecting a growing employee focus on workplace dynamics. The portion of retaliation reports made in Europe increased. This may be evidence of growing public awareness around the issue of retaliation and growing public confidence in the region to report this sensitive issue. The percentage of reports submitted about retaliation also rose slightly for reports made in all regions apart from APAC (Asia Pacific), where it held steady. Meanwhile, North America shows by far the greatest respective share of retaliation reports compared to other regions. This may be because of greater reporter awareness around the issue, or because organisations are doing an effective job inviting reports of this issue type. To read the full report, please click here. ------ About 2023 Regional Whistleblowing Hotline Benchmark Report Analysis is based on more than 1.5 million anonymised customer reports received in 2022. This regional benchmark focuses on four geographies: Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), North and South America. It is designed to help risk and compliance practitioners understand and benchmark their programs’ performance relative to regional peers. The benchmarking metrics provide a framework for organisations to speak a common language regarding types of risks, while identifying areas to enhance workplace culture across regional boundaries. New this year is a first-ever analysis of how reporting trends may differ by region of report origin compared to location of organisation headquarters. This dual analysis is particularly useful for multi-national companies with global operations and workforces. Also of note, APAC report calculations for 2021 have also been updated to include the Middle East, which resulted in some refinements to 2021 data used for comparative purposes. NAVEX is trusted by thousands of customers worldwide to help them achieve the business outcomes that matter most. As the global leader in integrated risk and compliance management software and services, we deliver solutions through the NAVEX One platform, the industry’s most comprehensive governance, risk and compliance (GRC) information system.

JustiFi Introduces: The Fintech Platform for Platforms

JustiFi

Today, Justifi is announcing the full launch of its highly anticipated fintech platform for platforms. This comprehensive stack of white-label financial tools enable software companies to monetize low-code fintech solutions like embedded payments, lending, and insurance all inside one integrated platform. Leveraging modern web components and API technologies, the JustiFi platform offers the fastest path to fully optimized fintech monetization for platform companies. “Platforms that see substantial fintech results can significantly expand their TAM (Total Addressable Market), boost revenue by 3-5 times, and command valuations 5-10 times higher than their competitors without fintech integration,” said Joe Keeley, JustiFi co-founder and CEO. The world's best platforms are winning with fintech products; however, turning this ambition into tangible results can prove to be a challenging journey, a narrative that JustiFi's founders are intimately familiar with. Before JustiFi, its leadership team had founded and led several vertical platforms, including SportsEngine, a vertical SaaS platform for youth sports organizations. In 2016, at the time of its sale to NBC Sports, SportsEngine had achieved world-class fintech results with embedded payments, insurance and lending. At the time, a staggering 85% of their revenue was coming from fintech products alone. The company was transformed, but SportsEngine's fintech journey was also complicated and expensive, involving a dedicated team of 50+ experts, intricate vendor integrations, and over a decade of work. There simply wasn’t an all-in-one fintech platform available on the market. That is until they built the JustiFi platform, a flexible plug-and-play fintech infrastructure powered by low-code APIs and web components, making fintech monetization faster and more accessible than ever before. What once took platforms tens of millions of dollars and a decade-plus to create, can now be activated in just days. With this platform launch, JustiFi has democratized access to fintech monetization and made good on its promise to accelerate the fintech potential of all platforms. Following its successful initial round of seed funding, which garnered $10.6 million from prominent investors like Crosslink Capital, Rally Ventures, and Emergence Capital in December 2021, JustiFi has welcomed a wave of enterprise clients from sports tech, rental management software, franchise operations, and various other sectors. These new partners collectively process billions of dollars in payments annually, showcasing JustiFi's rapid growth as a registered payment facilitator and an emerging fintech leader for platforms. For more information about the JustiFi platform, please visit www.justifi.tech. About JustiFi: JustiFi, the fintech platform for platforms, enables software companies to monetize white-label fintech products like embedded payments, lending, and insurance faster than ever before. As a registered payment facilitator, JustiFi provides world-class customer support and helps platforms deliver seamless fintech experiences to their end users.

Invest with Precision: Sector SPDR ETFs Enable Customized Portfolio Balancing

Select Sector SPDR

Investing in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) can be straightforward and transparent, though zeroing in on specific market segments can pose a challenge. The Sector ETFs from Select Sector SPDR provide a potential solution with 11 ETFs, offering the flexibility and diversification investors seek. These are the only ETFs that segment the S&P 500 into 11 investable sectors, covering all broad market segments. ETFs have emerged as a preferred tool for advisors and investors alike, ranging from institutional to individual investors. Beyond portfolios focused on broad based investments like the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500, Sector SPDRs provide targeted access to industries. Investors can strategically customize their portfolios by over or underweighting specific sectors to meet their invest objectives, such as healthcare to capture demographic trends or financials during an economic slowdown. The lineup of SPDR ETF Funds includes: Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLC) Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLY) Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLP) Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) Financials Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLV) Industrials Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLI) Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLB) Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLRE) Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK) Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLU) This collection of ETFs allows for more focused ETF investing, or a method to cover the entire market with varied weightings, depending on market dynamics and individual investor goals.

Diversification, a vital component of any portfolio, can be achieved thoughtfully using various Sector SPDR ETFs. Drawing from the S&P 500 for its equities ensures the funds are comprised of well-known, large-cap companies. While market fluctuations are inevitable, broad exposure through segmented industries offers flexibility without the necessity of single stock selection.

Therefore, Select Sector SPDRs or the publisher is not liable for any decision made based on the publication.

The index is heavily weighted toward stocks with large market capitalizations and represents approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all domestic common stocks. The S&P 500 Index figures do not reflect any fees, expenses or taxes. An investor should consider investment objectives, risks, fees and expenses before investing. One may not invest directly in an index. Transparent ETFs provide daily disclosure of portfolio holdings and weightings All ETFs are subject to risk, including loss of principal. Sector ETF products are also subject to sector risk and nondiversification risk, which generally will result in greater price fluctuations than the overall market. Diversification does not eliminate risk. An investor should consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing.
