Payward Co-CEO @arjunsethi sharing the @money2020 stage with speakers from @AlpacaHQ, @citsecurities and @solana talking tokenized equities, who gets access to markets and how adoption is growing worldwide.
Weaponization of the banking system in 2022 felt like 1984.
Much of the corruption links back to pressure from pockets of the government itself.
Thank you @USComptroller and @SecScottBessent for bringing much needed scrutiny.
Americans deserve fair access to innovative financial services, regardless of their beliefs, affiliations, or political views.

"won't the banks just buy all of the crypto companies?"
well, not exactly...
We signed a deal to fully acquire Saldo Bank, a digital-first specialized bank licensed in Lithuania serving retail, SME customers, and B2B partners across multiple European countries.
This adds to the @Payward infrastructure, particularly in Europe, where we already serve millions of customers.
The transaction will take some time to close, but very much looking forward to working with the Saldo team.

We’ve signed an agreement to acquire Saldo Bank, a licensed specialized bank in Lithuania operating across five European markets. An EU banking license meaningfully expands Payward Banking. Subject to closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

Kazakhstan, thank you for having us.
Clear and effective rules are critical for companies building with digital assets. The US cannot afford to fall behind on crypto market structure.

Hear Payward’s Alessandro Da Rold at @TEDxDublin to present "The Invisible Rebuild: Why Money Is Getting New Plumbing."
Capital in crypto markets is moving to new places.
On CNBC, Payward and Kraken Co-CEO Arjun Sethi described a rotation of investor interest toward perpetuals, pre-IPO companies and tokenized equities, including exposure to companies tied to the AI boom and also shared about our partnership with @SGB_app.
The bigger shift, he said, is about access. Permissionless, onchain markets can open tokenized traditional assets to investors anywhere, without the geographic limits that have shaped who gets in and when.

@arjunsethi@willcanny99@CoinDesk "We’re not a holding company... It’s one platform, one balance sheet, one regulatory stack."
The same rails that power our own products are increasingly being opened to partners across the financial system.
