Essential Edge Commences Next Stage of Strategic Growth Plan by Naming New Board of Advisors

Published

on

Board of highly accomplished industry leaders will provide expertise and guidance to fast-growing compliance outsourcing firm

SANTA FE, N.M., Feb. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Essential Edge Compliance Outsourcing Services LLC (Essential Edge), which provides third-party compliance services for broker-dealers and registered investment advisers (RIAs), announces the appointment of five highly regarded and experienced wealth management industry executives to its newly formed Board of Advisors.

The creation of this new advisory board comprising widely recognized industry leaders will enable Essential Edge to capture greater growth opportunities, while also expanding its value proposition to wealth management clients across the country who seek to leverage a cost-effective third-party solution for their regulatory and compliance challenges.

“Since launching Essential Edge, we have generated significant growth year over year by delivering on our core value proposition, which is in greater demand than ever before – providing outsourced, comprehensive compliance supervision and regulatory solutions that can, in effect, act as an extension of any wealth management enterprise’s compliance department,” said Sander Ressler, Co-Owner and Managing Partner. “As the complexities and costs associated with day-to-day compliance supervision and extraordinary regulatory compliance events continue to multiply, wealth management enterprises increasingly face a stark decision: continue to add full-time compliance supervision employees, dramatically increasing their operating costs, using capital and resources that could otherwise be used for more growth and revenue-generating functions of the business, or be smart and selective by partnering with third-party providers that can act as extensions of their compliance departments.”

29,999,999,950 LTSC Transferred to Bluegrace Energy Bolivia Administrative Escrow Digital Wallet on Jan 10, 2025, at 05:46:24 AM UTC

Published

on

By

WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The underlying contract for billions of metric tonnes of voluntary market carbon offset was executed on Jan 1, 2025, and the transaction completed on Jan 10, 2025, marks a significant step forward in establishing LTSC as the foremost stablecoin digital currency facilitating seamless exchange between carbon offset providers and sellers.

Mr. Jean Bilala, Executive Chairman of Letscoin, stated that he is ready to proceed to the final step of the conversion of LTSC vs USDT. The contractual obligation and settlement of this placement will be done in parallel with the confirmation of the global carbon credit offset buyers.

When asked about the exit buyers’ confirmation and the market demand for this carbon credit offset, Dr. Thana Balan, the co-founder of LTSC, answered that the business is comprised of users that require carbon offsets. Given the global implementation of utilizing carbon credits to offset carbon footprints, this assists global businesses in achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

This process is ongoing, and it is a mandatory requirement that every industry producing a sizeable carbon footprint balances its carbon output with offsets. Industries such as airline operators, mining, oil & gas refining, and processing companies are all fully engaged. Any business that has a carbon footprint will need carbon credit offsets to operate in the very near future.

Regulations are already in place globally, which are implemented and followed. Letscoin is not alone in becoming the digital currency facilitator for this transaction. Associate, Kyoto Transformation Xchange (KTX), is developing a carbon credit tokenization system. This will include creating the system to identify measures and justify the value of the carbon footprint of all industries, land, agro facilities, reserve Amazon mapping, and more.

During their recent R&D technology meetings in Jakarta, Indonesia, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, KTX introduced rocket science and AI drone facility owners to collaborate and execute their mission of being the associated partner of LTSC.

The achievement of LTSC being the digital exchange medium connecting the trade of carbon credit offsets between providers and the end buyer is an important move to the stability and sustainability of LTSC in the digital stablecoin race globally.

LTSC has structured the “payment gateway” algorithm, generated automatically, which will become a user-friendly online application that can be adopted by any level of basic digital competency. Dr. Thana’s team has the mission to implement plans to facilitate local exchange trading for goods and services that is easily accessible by using the complementary currency programs.

With the adoption of agriculture and forestry lands in Indonesia, Africa, and South America under the agro and carbon footprint mapping, significant milestones have been achieved.

When asked about the execution schedules, Dr. Thana said the execution will be divided into various sectors:

Preservation of carbon footprintTrading of carbon offsetDigitalization of carbon footprint and data management

“Our main focus will be completing the exit sales of the current contract with Bluegrace/LTSC/USDT for the 3 billion metric tonnes of carbon credit offsets. End buyers’ confirmation has been obtained for the tabletop meeting with Bluegrace, which has been requested for Jan 20, 2025, in Europe.”

LTSC believes this meeting will be a great achievement and herald the completion of all the contract commitments signed on Jan 1, 2025, to the executors and the global carbon exchange market.
