Las Vegas – AXES.ai’s land-based casino management platform became the first blockchain solution in history to be independently evaluated and rated by the Government Blockchain Association (GBA) in accordance with the Blockchain Maturity Model (BMM). “Why would a casino management system need blockchain? Because according to the US Financial Action Task Force (FATF), casinos are high-risk areas for money laundering and terrorist financing,” said Gerard Dache, GBA Executive Director. “Regulators world-wide need to have confidence that financial and compliance reports have not been falsified or altered.

In recent weeks, there have been systemic failures in the global financial system, particularly in the banking sector, causing people to question the legitimacy of information provided by regulators. Despite repeated assurances of robustness and security, people continued to withdraw their money from banks and invest in assets they could hold. Many of our community are familiar with the idea of “not your keys, not your crypto” after the failure of several protocols and investment funds. Just as these failures caused people to withdraw their crypto from exchanges and opt

Super Bowl Sunday This weekend will see the 57th annual Super-Bowl in the US exactly a year since the infamous Crypto-Bowl. Last year many said it was a blow-off top indicator and time has shown how right they were. For those that have hung on through the highs and lows of the past 12 months, the Crypto-Bowl seems like a distant memory. Despite all of the turmoils, upsets, and disasters crypto is still here and has weathered the storm well. Although most people’s portfolios are a fraction of what they

Less than a year ago in a small town in Switzerland, there was hope and optimism that crypto was finally breaking into the global financial system and a bright future awaited. That small town is Davos, home to the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF). This year the mood is far less optimistic as the ongoing FTX saga continues to cast its long shadows across the conference. Crypto is still represented along the Promenade, the road outside the main convention center, however this time it’s more heavily focused

Just as bull markets have narratives, so do bear markets, and the overriding narrative of this year has been regulation. Time and again the media has conflated a lack of regulation in crypto with the failures we’ve seen. It’s easy for people to conclude that as soon as regulation comes to crypto, investors will have confidence and flood back into the market. If that was true you would expect to see the stock market flooded with liquidity, but tech stocks are experiencing similar conditions to crypto. Not only is there

The black swan events of LUNA and FTX that have so far characterized crypto in 2022 left many in the space wondering how we got here. What began as a quiet revolution focused on decentralization and financial sovereignty has been corrupted by greed and the centralization of power and control. If crypto has any hope of a future it can only be found in reaffirming the central tenets of decentralization and financial sovereignty. While the media claim these problems are the fault of a lack of regulation it’s worth considering

Although they may be ahead of the curve at the moment, their path to a digital future
