Norque for Security, Usability, Accessibility and Sustainability for Blockchain, Web3, Cryptocurrency, Metaverse and Physical world by integrating Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning technology and Risks Mitigation offerings.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Norque is coming with its ICO around April/May 2024 introducing a pioneering ecosystem that merges blockchain, AI, ML, cryptocurrency, and insurance, marking a first in the sector. Norque aims to bring security, usability, accessibility, and sustainability to the blockchain, Web3, cryptocurrency, and the metaverse.

In response to the cryptocurrency market’s volatility and high-profile failures, Norque presents a novel approach by offering a digital currency with real-world value. Unlike previous projects that pursued fleeting fame LUNA, Doge and FTX, Norque focuses on providing actual utility backed by tangible assets, such as real estate and consumer goods.

Norque’s foundation is built on expertise from blockchain professionals, financial market experts, AI specialists, and global influencers. It introduces the first AI and ML-driven blockchain tailored for insurance claim settlements, enhancing efficiency and accessibility. Additionally, the project launches NOQ, a token underpinned by real-world assets, enabling purchases across blockchain, crypto, metaverse, and insurance services.

https://youtu.be/GtXLgA7IxK0 

A standout feature is the introduction of the first Decentralized Exchange (DEX) and a unique Centralized Exchange (CEX) with integrated insurance capabilities and AI and ML functionalities. These platforms are designed to redefine reliability and functionality in decentralized and centralized finance.

Norque’s comprehensive insurance solutions cater to crypto investors, institutions, exchanges, and metaverse participants, addressing the critical need for risk mitigation in the crypto space. This initiative aims to boost confidence and stability, setting a new benchmark in the industry.

The project also unveils an application facilitating seamless crypto payments and currency conversions, empowering users to make purchases ranging from daily necessities to significant assets with cryptocurrency. Certik certification is in process.

P. Nakamoto himself, in a guest show, highlights the project’s ambition to exceed the practical applications of predecessors by leveraging real-world asset backing and addressing market volatility through innovative risk mitigation strategies. Norque’s introduction is timely, aiming to foster stability and promote wider adoption amid the challenges faced by the crypto and metaverse sectors.

• On behalf of its client Matter Labs, Sygnum is investing USD 50m into Fidelity’s Institutional Liquidity Fund (ILF)
• Sygnum generates on-chain representation by issuing security tokens that act
  as secure and transparent “Proof-of-Reserves” for Matter Labs’ treasury reserves
• Represents first step in Matter Labs’ long-term strategy to move its treasury
  reserves on-chain with trusted institutional custodians
• By tokenising traditional securities, Sygnum is strengthening the Crypto-TradFi bridge and laying the foundations for a fully-tokenised ecosystem

ZURICH, March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sygnum, a global digital asset banking group, is tokenising USD 50m of Matter Labs’ treasury reserves onto the zkSync blockchain. The Sygnum-issued security tokens act as on-chain representations of units from Fidelity International’s (“Fidelity”) USD 6.9bnⁱ Institutional Liquidity Fund (ILF) to generate a secure and transparent “Proof-of-Reserves.”

Matter Labs is a software development, engineering, and cryptography company focused on creating scaling solutions for Ethereum and contributing to the improvement of zk-rollup technology, such as zkSync. zkSync is a layer 2 blockchain protocol designed to scale the performance of Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency. The investment marks the first step of Matter Labs’ long-term strategy to move its treasury reserves on-chain with institutional custodians like Sygnum.

This is the first project to leverage the capabilities of Sygnum’s multi-chain tokenisation solution with traditional securities. With the tokenisation of the investment in Fidelity’s money market fund, Sygnum further strengthens Crypto-TradFi connections and lays the foundations for a fully-tokenised ecosystem.

Jürg Rimle, Country Head Switzerland at Fidelity International, says “We welcome the partnership with Sygnum Bank that expands access for professional and institutional investors – and strengthens the trusted bridge between the emerging digital asset economy and traditional finance.”

Fatmire Bekiri, Sygnum Head of Tokenisation, says “Working with Fidelity and utilising zkSync, Sygnum leverages both the power of the blockchain and the experience of a global Tier 1 investment manager. It’s a prime illustration of our mission to connect Crypto and Trad-Fi and build Future Finance on-chain.”

Marco Cora, Matter Labs SVP of Business and Operations, says “Moving USD 50m of our treasury reserves onto the zkSync blockchain showcases its institutional-grade security as well as our commitment to transparency. We’re eager to collaborate with Sygnum to bring part of the Fidelity money market fund on the zkSync blockchain for investors.”

Matter Labs’ strategic move bringing its treasury reserves on-chain is part of the growing Real World Assets (RWA) tokenisation trend which in 2023 increased 74% to USD 2.5bnⁱⁱ. Their enhanced liquidity and accessibility – as well as the increased attractiveness of traditional yield-bearing instruments – is driving new levels of transparency, efficiency and new product creation in financial markets.

About Sygnum
Sygnum is a global digital asset banking group, founded on Swiss and Singapore heritage. We empower professional and institutional investors, banks, corporates and DLT foundations to invest in digital assets with complete trust. Our team enables this through our institutional-grade security, expert personal service and portfolio of regulated digital asset banking, asset management, tokenisation and B2B services.

BERLIN, March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Following its successful entrance in Germany, Italy and Spain, Mintos, the multi-asset platform offering a unique mix of alternative and traditional investment options, continues its European rollout by making its official debut in the French and Dutch investment markets. Since its founding in 2015, the platform has attracted over 500,000 users across Europe. Authorised by MiFID, the company currently manages over 600 million euros in assets under administration.

Investment Trends in France and the Netherlands

According to a recent survey conducted by AMF in France in collaboration with the European Union through the OECD*, nearly 1 in 4 French individuals report owning investments in financial instruments or crypto-assets. The survey reveals that new investors are primarily driven by the desire to diversify their savings, with 35% citing this as their primary reason for investing. An overwhelming 90% of investors believe that maintaining their investments over the long term will yield profitable returns.

“In the ever-evolving landscape of investment, we want to emerge as the go-to platform for investors seeking sustained portfolio growth over time, prioritising stability over speculative gains.” comments Martins Sulte, CEO and co-founder of Mintos.

Similarly, Statistics Netherlands (CBS) and the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM)** report that among the approximately 8.3 million private households in the Netherlands, approximately a quarter (totaling around 1.9 million), actively engage in investment activities.

“These findings underscore the widespread interest and participation in investment opportunities among Dutch households, reflecting a growing awareness of the importance of financial planning and wealth management” adds Martins Sulte.

Mintos offering: loans, Fractional Bonds and ETFs.

Mintos already holds a prominent position as the leading European platform for investing in loans, offering investors the opportunity to invest in consumer and small business credit for potentially attractive long-term returns.

Another recent addition to Mintos’ offerings is Fractional Bonds which allow customers to invest in high-yield bonds from as little as €50 and zero commissions and enjoy regular, fixed returns.

Mintos distinguishes itself by offering managed ETF portfolios with a minimum investment of €50 and completely free of charge, a significant advantage compared to other players in the market. These include bond and equity ETFs from renowned providers such as Amundi, iShares, JP Morgan, Vanguard, and others.

Investments in financial instruments are associated with risks.

SEOUL, South Korea, March 15, 2024 /CNW/ — The Mars, a Korean developer in the metaverse game industry, has set March 28 as the official early access date for its eagerly anticipated Mars-themed multiplayer metaverse mobile game, “Mellow”.

This addition promises a richer, more engaging player experience, blending the thrill of exploration with the satisfaction of character progression.

In “Mellow”, players are invited to customize their avatars and personal spaces, utilize various vehicles for exploration, engage in social interactions through animations, participate in real-time sports, and express their creativity in numerous ways. Set against the backdrop of a serene Martian society, “Mellow” aims to provide a tranquil and leisurely virtual environment, far removed from the bustle of Earthly life.

The Mars team’s vision for “Mellow” extends beyond mere entertainment. They aim to craft a metaverse that embodies tranquility and comfort, offering an escape to a world “Better than Earth”. With the introduction of building ownership, sports activities, and communal hobbies, “Mellow” positions itself as a diverse platform catering to a wide range of interests and activities.

As the early access date approaches, potential players and crypto enthusiasts are invited to partake in this pioneering journey to Mars. The increase in the $MRST token’s value indicates growing interest and confidence in “Mellow’s” ability to be successful in the gaming and metaverse landscapes.

With an array of events planned around the early access launch, The Mars spokesperson expressed, “We have prepared an array of diverse events leading up to the early access launch, surpassing our previous endeavors. We eagerly await your interest and active participation.”
