About 1100 of the foundation’s students are enrolled in the I PROMISE program to provide a class of third-grade students with more topics and tips on personal health, socializing ad motivation as well as academics. This is not the first time that James has teamed up with Crypto.com. The exchange paid $700 million for the naming rights to the Laker’s home arena, the Staples Center for 20 years. The stadium is now named Crypto.com Arena. The sum surpassed rival exchange FTX’s $135 million deal stuck a year ago for naming rights to the Miami heat arena for 19 years and it is called the FTX Arena. Crypto.com native coin CRO jumped 30% and set an ATH the day of the Laker arena deal and it carried on rising for a week so now it set a watermark of $0.97 in 2021. the coin is down 60% from its ATH amid a bearish start for crypto in the near year.

As recently reported, Popular crypto exchange Crypto.com becomes the first trading platform to be compliant with SOC 2 standards which makes it the first crypto exchange to achieve this standard in traditional finance. Crypto.com successfully implemented the SOC 2 or a Service Organization Control audit which is a common standard in traditional finance which attests to the company being trustworthy and having decent operations and policies. This means that the exchange was certified as the most secure crypto trading platform in existence with the first crypto exchange to pass this SOC 2 standard. Deloitte conducted the audit as an international company that provides audits, advisory services, and consulting tax to worldwide brands.
