Tweetable Quotes: ● “We emphasize specifically interoperability and one of our hallmark components is the ability to link existing financial service networks to the blockchain space.” – Dan Doney ● “The tokens know what they are allowed to do and they only allow themselves to participate in transactions between known and qualified parties, regardless of the type of instruments.” – Dan Doney ● “What you want is a global venue where the instrument itself knows what the rules are and it is able to enforce the rules without boundaries, or at least the only boundary is the regulatory framework that applies for the instrument and any participants in the trade.” – Dan Doney Resources Mentioned: ● Facebook – Jason Pereira’s Facebook ● LinkedIn – Jason Pereira’s LinkedIn ● FintechImpact.co – Website for Fintech Impact ● JasonPereira.ca – Sign up for Jason Pereira’s newsletter ● Linkedin – Dan Doney’s ● Securrency – Website for Securrency Hosted on Acast.
