We look forward to many collaborative efforts with our colleagues at Calypso in the near future.”
Jean Safar, Chief Architect at Calypso, added: “We are delighted to join the WSBA. Blockchain has the potential to substantially improve both the efficiency and the transparency of the financial services industry, and the WSBA is dedicated to facilitating that transition. We are excited about the opportunity to work with both their leadership and member firms as we explore the various applications of the distributed ledger. Our participation in the WSBA will enhance our existing blockchain research and development, allowing us to bring innovative solutions to market faster.”
Back in June, the WSBA Chairman Quaranta joined Loyyal, the blockchain and smart contracts platform for loyalty and rewards (formally known as Ribbit.me), as Executive Vice President for Business and Strategy Development.
