China sent 71 warplanes near Taiwan on Saturday as the country kicked off three days of military drills and "combat readiness patrols" around the self-ruled island, just days after Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen incurred Beijing's wrath for meeting with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Soros — who has worked to carry his father's torch as he has assisted with fundraising efforts for the Democratic Party — traveled to the White House at least 14 times since October 2021 and had meetings with multiple officials in 2022, according to White House visitor logs reviewed by Fox News Digital.
The logs detailing visits by Soros to the White House were first reported by the New York Post on Saturday and revealed that the billionaire's son made a trip to the White House on December 1, 2022, the day he met with then-Chief of Staff Ron Klain's assistant, Nina Srivastava, who also served on Biden's presidential campaign.
Europe’s greatest armed conflict since World War II is poised to see the largest mobilized effort since the war in Ukraine began as Kyiv prepares for an anticipated spring offensive.
Global annual Digital Monetary Institute Symposium in London is among the loudest meetings for the key actors of the central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) segment. Ripple becomes its first platinum partner for 2023.
As noticed by a pseudonymous cryptocurrency enthusiast on Twitter, Ripple, a San Francisco-based tech company that builds an ecosystem for global payments, becomes the first platinum partner of the Digital Monetary Institute Symposium 2023. This event is a crucial meeting on CBDCs, money transfer regulation, blockchain usage in businesses and related issues.
The summit will be attended by representatives of central banks of China, Italy, Israel, Malaysia, Brazil, key regulators (U.S. SEC, CFTC, EU Commission), core figureheads of crypto-friendly businesses (Temasek, Clifford Chance and others).
Clifford Chance, Giesecke+Devrient, Onyx by J.P. Morgan are gold partners of the upcoming event.
Ripple is a technical and research partner of various notable CBDC initiatives across the globe. In recent months, it started collaborating with various concepts of digital Euro, digital Pound and so on.
Ripple, IOTA, and Stellar Lumen are reportedly in line to work with SWIFT under the ISO 20022 regulation. ISO 20022 is a single standardization approach meant to be used by all financial standards initiatives. In other words, it enables interoperability between market structures, financial institutions, and banks’ customers. SWIFT has announced that customers would be at different stages of their ISO 20022 adoption journey from March 2023 to November 2025. In addition to SWIFT, market infrastructures such as The Clearing House, the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, and the Nigeria Interbank Settlement System (NIBSS) have all declared their plans to migrate to ISO 20022 between 2022 and 2025.
Ripples ISO 20022 membership will allow customers to utilize RippleNet to access a network of global financial institutions and connect to one standardized API for all counterparty connections. By adhering to the ISO 20022 standard further validation is provided to show the potential of DLT in the world of traditional finance and payments as all financial institutions will by 2022 have to comply with the same payments standard/mandate.
We recently ran a ground-breaking set of experiments that pave the way for the use of CBDCs across borders. To help you get up to speed, we’ve pulled together the five key things you need to know about this pioneering work.
And there will be no need to invent new ways of ensuring security, compliance, authentication and tracking either. We're leveraging the ISO 20022 standard to ensure that CBDC transactions carry rich, standardised payment data. Over time we also aim to integrate our CBDC solution into Swift’s current suite of products and services that are used by our 11,000+ members every day to make sure that their cross-border payments are fast, secure, transparent and compliant.
ISO 20022 protocol is a standard for electronic data interchange between financial services in the payment industry. It is based on DLT (distributive ledger technology) and uses ISO 20022 as a messaging mechanism.
Banks worldwide have already committed to this worldwide regulatory framework, which backs SWIFT and the Federal Reserve. And as we move toward this new quantum financial system, any third party that wants to interact with banks must be able to use the ISO 20022 format.

George Soros' son has visited White House more than a dozen times since Biden took office, records show
Soros — who has worked to carry his father's torch as he has assisted with fundraising efforts for the Democratic Party — traveled to the White House at least 14 times since October 2021 and had meetings with multiple officials in 2022, according to White House visitor logs reviewed by Fox News Digital.

Poor, poor, Horizon Worlds. According to Facebook-turned-Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth, the company's metaverse of dead-eyed avatars has been all but abandoned by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg — who, in an added blow, is instead said to be spending the bulk of his time chasing the investor-appeasing Silicon Valley squirrel that is generative AI
"We just created a new team, the generative AI team, a couple of months ago; they are very busy," he added. "It's probably the area that I'm spending the most time [in], as well as Mark Zuckerberg and [Chief Product Officer] Chris Cox."
Meta hopes that AI will ultimately make its beleaguered metaverse better.
"Previously, if I wanted to create a 3D world, I needed to learn a lot of computer graphics and programming," Bosworth told the outlet. "In the future, you might be able to just describe the world you want to create and have the large language model generate that world for you."
