Published

on

I-ON Digital Corp CEO, Carlos X. Montoya, is set to attend Mines and Money Miami Investor Conference and the U.S. Payments Forum in Salt Lake City.

Chicago, Illinois–(Newsfile Corp. – February 22, 2023) – I-ON Digital Corp (OTCQB: IONI) is proud to announce that its new management team will attend a series of industry events over the next several weeks with the goal of introducing new enhancements to the industry’s first institutional-level Gold-Backed Digital Asset Ecosystem, as well as the Company’s upcoming launch of its ION Digital Trust Framework inside the financial services and healthcare industries.

The first event on I-ON’s schedule is the strategic Mines and Money Investor Conference, occurring February 23-24 in Miami, Florida. This event is designed to help investors identify investment opportunities and gain insights into current market trends, focusing on metals and mining. I-ON will showcase groundbreaking enhancements being made to the original Gold-Backed Digital Asset Ecosystem Mr. Montoya engineered in early 2017. The Company expects that I-ON’s gold digitization process will allow investments in gold-backed digital securities backed by unrefined gold reserves held in the planet’s most secure vault – Mother Earth.

“We’ve been very heavily focused on expanding what had originally been developed by our initial team members at MCM and Tall Ship Partners Fund in 2017 when we launched the world’s first institutional-level ecosystem,” said I-ON Digital Corp CEO Carlos X. Montoya. “With the introduction of ION’s Digital Trust Framework, we will look to add precious metals to our digitization process. We expect to enhance proof of reserve protocols, strengthen independent financial custody, expand tier-one client and investor reporting, and streamline account management using Blockchain and Smart Contract technologies.”

Following this event, I-ON will be attending U.S. Payments Forum on February 27-March 2 in Salt Lake City, Utah. This conference focuses on payment solutions and trends within the financial services industry. During this time, the ION team will highlight their Trust Framework technology, which utilizes blockchain technology and workflow automation to create an immutable audit trail for payment transactions while maintaining customer identity, privacy, and data security standards required by law.

“The ION Trust Framework was engineered to further protect consumer identity, facilitate secure and compliant wealth transfer, and strengthen individual data sovereignty protection as a top priority,” said Montoya. “The concept of Distributed Trust is an essential and much-needed solution for financial and data transactions worldwide to ensure compliance with emerging international identity, consent, and transmission standards, and we believe it has great potential not only in the traditional finance sector but also in other industries such as healthcare.”

These two upcoming events offer an exciting opportunity for I-ON to demonstrate its technological capabilities further and strengthen relationships with its industry partners worldwide.

As we close out 2024, the fintech industry continues to deliver headlines that underscore its dynamism and innovation. From IPO aspirations to groundbreaking regulatory milestones, today’s updates highlight the transformative power of fintech partnerships, regulatory evolution, and disruptive technologies. Here’s what you need to know.

Chime’s Quiet Step Toward Public Markets

Chime, the U.S.-based financial technology startup best known for its digital banking services, has taken a significant step by filing confidential paperwork for an initial public offering (IPO). As one of the most valuable private fintechs in the U.S., Chime’s move could potentially signal a renewed appetite for fintech IPOs in a market that has been cautious following fluctuating valuations across the tech sector.

With a valuation that reportedly exceeded $25 billion in its last funding round, Chime’s IPO could set a new benchmark for the industry. Observers note that its strong customer base and revenue growth may make it an appealing choice for investors seeking to capitalize on the digital banking boom. However, the timing and success of the IPO will depend on broader market conditions and the regulatory landscape.

ZBD’s Pioneering Achievement: EU MiCA License Approval

ZBD, a fintech company specializing in Bitcoin Lightning network solutions, has made history by becoming the first to secure an EU MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) license. This landmark approval by the Dutch regulator positions ZBD at the forefront of compliant crypto-fintech operations in Europe.

MiCA, which aims to harmonize the regulatory framework for crypto-assets across the EU, has been a focal point for industry players aiming to establish legitimacy and expand their offerings. ZBD’s achievement not only validates its operational rigor but also sets a precedent for other fintech firms navigating the evolving regulatory landscape.

Industry insiders view this as a strategic advantage for ZBD as it broadens its footprint in Europe. By leveraging its regulatory approval, the company can accelerate its product deployment and establish trust with institutional and retail users alike.
