DUBAI, Mar 8, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – KARM Legal Consultants, a leading law firm specializing in Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Web3 & Fintech in the UAE has, in collaboration with prominent legal experts – Mr. Eric Hess (Hess Legal Counsel), Mr. Jonathan Geen, Mr. Andreas Glarner (MME) and Mr. Thomas Nagele (Nagele Attorneys) and the regional Blockchain Ecosystem Crypto Oasis, published a new report analyzing the regulatory landscape for virtual assets in various jurisdictions.

The report was launched in the presence of top organisations and Industry leaders at the annual Crypto Oasis Ecosystem Night held at Cove Beach in Caesars Palace, Dubai.

The report titled "Virtual Assets Regulatory Framework: An Evolving Landscape" identifies key regulatory developments in relation to virtual assets in the UAE, Bahrain, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, UK, and USA.

As the use of blockchain technology and its use cases continue to grow, so does the need for regulation. In the last few years, we have witnessed several positive regulatory developments for the virtual assets sector, as many jurisdictions globally have started to recognize virtual assets services.

With overall favorable regulatory ecosystems, UAE, Bahrain, Switzerland and Liechtenstein have cemented their position as leading virtual assets friendly jurisdictions. The regulatory frameworks in general focus on several aspects of business such as token classifications, AML/KYC, custody of private and public keys, wallet configurations and client suitability assessments.

Navigating the regulatory landscape for virtual assets can be a complex exercise. However, with the report, KARM aims to simplify the regulatory framework for readers.

As regards the UAE, KARM's report provides an overview of regulations issued by the federal, emirate level and free zone authorities. The report covers various licensing options available for virtual assets activities, token classifications, compliance requirements and capital requirements.

The UAE was one of the first jurisdictions globally to introduce a regulatory framework governing virtual assets activities.

With several initiatives supporting the sector, the UAE has transformed into a global hub for virtual asset service providers. The establishment of the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), a regulator exclusively focused on virtual assets has contributed to development of an exceptional ecosystem for crypto businesses.

"We are pleased to have compiled and published this report, which we hope will contribute to the ongoing conversations around the regulatory landscape for virtual assets," said Kokila Alagh, Founder of KARM Legal Consultants. "As the world of blockchain and cryptocurrency continues to evolve, it is crucial to keep up with the latest developments and understand how they impact the industry," she added.

Linkedin Influencer Rachel Mitchell Joins Plato’s Board

NEW YORK, N.Y., Mar 6, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The JV was setup to drive both awareness and user adoption of Plato's Ai Powered Content Syndication Network. The global partnership leverages over 30 years of technical and marketing excellence across today's most innovative market sectors.

Key Highlights:
– Rachel Mitchell (www.linkedin.com/in/rachelmitchell333/) EP of Innovation Series is the First LinkedIn Influencer with Almost 1M followers joins Plato's Board to help drive Commercial Web3 Adoption.
– Joint Venture Announced to Disrupt PR & Content Syndication across the innovation superhighway via Amplifi Subsidiary.
– Plato's (https://platoaistream.com) Ai Engine uses its internal syndication to electronically connect with thousands of media outlets while Amplifi is used to distribute and syndicate content and press releases.

Rachell Mitchell worked mostly behind-the -scenes prior to her becoming a content creator on LinkedIn. Rachel is one of the original producers of Built in America, Innovation Nation, Sustainable Nation, and The Longevity Series. She became a top Executive Producer (EP) for History, Innovation, Sustainability, Health, Wellness, Longevity and Sports documentaries. She has produced as a "ghost producer" for most of her projects with Elevate Media Productions (https://builtinamerica.tv). The Elevate team has worked with top media agencies and marketing firms for their clients' sponsorship needs. Elevate also works with independent film producers and third-party production crews from around the world.

"I like to give credit and opportunities to all the wonderful people that I get to work with," said Rachel Mitchell CEO of Elevate. "Telling people's stories inspired me to share mine on LinkedIn. In 2020 I had to cancel the filming of The Longevity Series because of the pandemic. Since we were all at home, I began to post guidance that helped me achieve success during challenging times. People from around the world began to contact me and tell me the challenges that they were facing online."

"Giving people the capability to be seen in over 2000+ online publications, in over 32 languages is a gift. The goal was to give people, products, and services the online reach that only 'Influencers' or viral content receive on social media platforms," Rachel Mitchell stated.

Rachel Mitchell is a LinkedIn Influencer, Executive Producer, and businesswoman who has risen to popularity during the pandemic. People have noticed that Rachel Mitchell has over 968,000 followers on LinkedIn and 1M followers across multiple platforms.

"With the rise of AI, innovation, and the frequent changes to algorithms, I noticed how some social media platforms were favoring personal content over business content. Some of the most innovative start-up companies and brilliant new personal brands were still leaning on traditional press releases and PR to get their business announced to the public. The cost of press releases was high, and the ROI was not in people's best interest. As I grew my organic following on LinkedIn, I noticed that other business owners were having a hard time finding an audience of potential customers. Many business owners and executives shared that they wasted time and money on social media management that did not lead to the level of exposure that they need. Therefore, I became excited to share what Amplifi can do," Mitchell added.

Amplifi distributes press releases to various editorial offices and journalists which will guarantee coverage worldwide. Plato uses its internal syndication to electronically connect with thousands of media outlets. The services provided are tailored to the type of news you're distributing. Using Amplifi can help target specialty media in a unique way. A good service will increase the chances of getting your message seen by the public.

Plato is an open intelligence repository and platform that unlocks the power of Vertical Search in a highly scalable and secure web3 interface. The platform is designed to provide an ultra-safe and secure environment to consumer sector-specific real-time data intelligence. This interface is used to provide transparency of information to people who are creating content and receiving content online. The company just surpassed its 10M Organic Visitor and continues to scale its Ai Powered Vertical Intelligence Engine across 27 Market Verticals and 32 Languages.

Bryan Feinberg, CEO of Plato, and Co-founder of Amplifi, commented, "We are honored to partner with best-of-class web3 ecosystems, and reputable media outlets from around the world. Our Partnership represents a scalable way for us leverage each companies' respective networks."

Blockpass and Avalanche Secure Dapps, Enable Digitization of Assets

HONG KONG, Feb 17, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – A new partnership, between digital identity verification provider Blockpass and Avalanche, a high-performance smart contracts platform, is revealed today as both companies seek to further the safety, security and capabilities of the blockchain ecosystem. As part of this partnership, Blockpass will be integrated with Avalanche for KYC and AML verification. Through this, Avalanche will also enjoy Blockpass' new feature that allows users to certify their ownership of their digital wallets, providing a market suitable for Unhosted Wallets thanks to Blockpass' Unhosted Wallet KYC.

Avalanche is a high-performance, scalable, customizable, and secure blockchain platform which enables the building of application-specific blockchains for both private and public blockchains. The Avalanche platform facilitates the creation and launching of highly scalable decentralized applications and complex digital assets with custom rules, covenants, and riders. With these smart assets and scalable Dapps, Avalanche provides a low-cost and eco-friendly platform for the creation, transfer, and trade of digital assets.

Blockpass is a digital identity verification provider which provides a one-click compliance gateway to financial services and other regulated industries. Through Blockpass, users can create, store, and manage a data-secure digital identity that can be used for an entire ecosystem of services, token purchases and access to regulated industries. For businesses and merchants, Blockpass is a comprehensive KYC & AML SaaS that requires no integration and no setup cost. You can set up a service in minutes, test the service for free and start verifying and on-boarding users. Currently, with around one million verified user identity profiles, Blockpass facilitates instant onboarding, and to date over a thousand businesses have taken advantage of this opportunity to get access to users, including those with unhosted wallets and reusable digital identity profiles.

"Since the conception of Blockpass the digitization of assets has been one of our goals and we're excited to be working together with Avalanche to further the development of blockchains, decentralized apps and smart assets," said Blockpass CEO Adam Vaziri. "We started with the verification of human identity to enable both regulatory compliance and the provable ownership of digital assets; we're pleased that we can work with Avalanche to expand this and to provide our Unhosted Wallet KYC solution."

Blockpass has grown significantly in size and use since its inception, both in the number and range of users and organizations it has partnered with and the scope of its work. Blockpass continues to develop its digital identity protocol with updates and additions to improve the compliance experience. The existential need for DeFi projects to be regulatory compliant and the recent integrations and legal developments have led to a surge in interest for Blockpass' On-chain KYC(R), the only live zero knowledge solution for Crypto KYC, and Unhosted Wallet KYC solution finally enabling blockchains and DeFi platforms to have a compliance layer. Through its work with Animoca Brands from early 2022, Blockpass provides a zero knowledge KYC service where the delivery of the verification result is provably sent and shown on a blockchain without sharing the underlying data. This represents a significant step towards the future Blockpass hopes to bring about where identity verification can be proved without revealing any personal information at all.
