Why the Metaverse is Attracting Traditional Professions

 

Walmart, Wendy’s, Jose Cuervo, and all the companies that now co-exist on the Metaverse are varied and have opened virtual location(s) for various reasons. Some aren’t yet completely sure what the reason is. They are early adopters that thought they’d claim their Metaverse stake and figure the rest out. But should accountants, investment advisors and other traditional professions be there too? Channelchek learned of an attorney that was the first to open a personal injury law firm on the Metaverse. Other practices are moving into virtual reality as well.

 

One Lawyers Story

Attorney Grungo Colarulo founded his Cherry Hill, New Jersey-based law firm. Late last year, he launched an office online in Decentraland. In a two-minute YouTube video Grungo discusses his foray into Decentraland’s Metaverse as the first personal injury lawyer to reach this new frontier.

Grungo, says his personal-injury-focused practice wants to get a jump-start on competitors in a realm in which the lines between the real world and the virtual world are blurred.

“I think that there’s going to be an opportunity to connect, collaborate, transact, perform, argue, advertise and create like never before in history,” he said. “The sooner you get there, the sooner you put boots on the ground and start experimenting, the sooner you can start being effective there,” Grungo adds.

In the video tour the personal injury attorney says, “There are lots of opportunities within this office and within the metaverse to refine how we practice law, how we communicate with our clients, how we provide information to nonclients,” Grungo said in the video. He envisions perhaps having meetings in the Metaverse with clients that visit his address in Decentraland. This could improve his services he explains, “There’s a lot of difficult conversations I have with victims, where I think they may want to be behind an avatar to have that conversation.”

“Our plan is to educate and guide those interested in this new frontier on what they need to get started,” says Grungo, who highlights that the firm has already begun using its social media channels to raise awareness about its metaverse office, located at Parcel -36, 150 in Decentraland.

Take-Away

Businesses of every size remember the early stages of the internet and social media. Those that were first to figure out how to capitalize on its power benefitted early. Some small traditional firms, including law practices are including themselves and getting digital plots to build out.

As early adopters, they will have a hand in building out the future of the medium. Large, respected banks are forecasting the future of the Metaverse to be valued in the trillions; we’ve witnessed big-tech firms jump in with both feet. It would seem that getting in front of this potential growth could have rewards that outweigh any risk of time or money putting a company int the virtual world with their own virtual plot.

One of the more powerful leaders guiding the future of the Metaverse is Rob Goldman. Rob was the former head of growth, monetization, and advertising at Facebook (now Meta). Mr. Goldman will be a featured Metaverse panelist at
NobleCon18, an event free to investors and other attendees. NoblCon18 takes place this year in South Florida at the “Guitar Hotel” in Florida on April 19-21.

Blockchain Hackers Break Previous Quarterly Theft Record

 

Crypto hackers made off with $1,307 million during the first quarter of 2022. They Averaged over $20 million per hack in 73 attacks on the blockchain ecosystem. A single attack on Ronin accounted for almost half the amount, with Solana and Binance smart chain ecosystems accounting for more than a third of that total. We take a look at the top targets, methods, most successful hacks, and trends that played out over the first quarter of 2022.

Targets

NFTs were the top target, with the highest number of hacks at 20, netting a near-$49 million loss. Some attackers used phishing attacks on Discord to steal victims’ NFTs; other scammers launched NFT projects and then disappeared with buyers’ funds without delivering.

Exchanges were hacked out of $42 million in three events. The Ethereum ecosystem experienced 16 events where attackers made off with $25 million.

Hacks of the Solana and BSC networks led to almost $500 million in stolen funds, with $400 million taken from Solana and $100 million from Binance smart chain. 

 

Record Highs

As the blockchain industry expands, so has the opportunity and reward for those interested in personal gain by undermining the substantial protections. The market is now a larger target with more rewards to be had. Measuring only first-quarter events, in 2018 cryptocurrency-related blockchain hacks numbered only five. During the first quarter of 2019, hacks numbered 62 (1140% jump). It seems hackers were focused on the coronavirus during the first quarter 2020, because the number of events dropped to 13. A year later, in the first quarter of 2021, blockchain breaches and scams rose to 33 (154%).

This brings us to the quarter that just ended. As mentioned earlier, Blockchain-related hack events have reached an all-time high of 72 in Q1 2022. It represents a 118% increase in hacks compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Currently

On March 23rd, a hacker accomplished one of the largest heists in crypto history. The Ronin loss of $625 million worth of ether and stablecoin USDC occurred after hackers were able to access five private keys used to validate transactions in order to forge bogus withdrawals on March 23, resulting in 173,600 Ethereum and 25.5M USDC drained from the Ronin bridge in two transactions.

Blockchain project security is one concern a person investing in cryptocurrency should consider. Most blockchain-related hack events happen because cybercriminals exploit flaws in the project code. Successful thieves can cause massive headaches and losses to creators and investors on crypto platforms.

Voyager News Release

Research, News, and Market Data on Voyager Digital

 

Voyager Digital Ltd. (TSX: VOYG; OTCQX: VYGVF; FRA: UCD2) is at the forefront of the rapidly evolving crypto industry, and is committed to providing the best experience for its customers.

On March 29, 2022, Voyager Digital LLC, Voyager Holdings Inc., and Voyager Digital Ltd. (together “Voyager” or the “Company”) received the following orders from certain state securities divisions that are members of a multistate working group of North American Securities Administrators Association in respect of the Voyager customer accounts that permit customers to earn rewards on their crypto balances (“Voyager Earn Accounts”).  Voyager is aware of or has received cease and desist orders from the state securities divisions of Indiana, Kentucky, New Jersey and Oklahoma, and orders to show cause or similar orders from the state securities divisions of Alabama, Texas, Vermont and Washington.  These state orders generally assert that Voyager was offering and selling securities or investment contracts in the form of Voyager Earn Accounts unregistered with the applicable state.

Voyager is in ongoing communications with these state regulators to better understand the terms in their respective regulatory orders and to clarify certain statements in the orders that Voyager believes are inaccurate.  If, as, and when effective, the orders will generally prohibit Voyager from offering new Voyager Earn Accounts or accepting additional assets into existing Voyager Earn Accounts in the impacted states.  If, as, and when effective, some of these orders will permit existing Voyager Earn Account customers to continue earning rewards on existing balances until Voyager hasresolved such orders.  Three of these orders disclose civil penalties that the applicable state intends to seek upon resolution.  Voyager is seeking clarification of the terms of each of these regulatory orders, including effective dates and how proposed civil penalties in respect of alleged violations are calculated and its due process rights.  It is Voyager’s expectation that most of these state orders will provide a transition period prior to becoming effective.

Voyager is firmly convinced that its Earn Program and the Voyager Earn Accounts are not securities and intends to demonstrate its position and defend it as necessary and appropriate.  Of course, Voyager supports appropriate regulation and will do its best to demonstrate to these regulators that Voyager has complied with the law.

ISG to Announce Third-Quarter Financial Results

Research, News, and Market Data on Information Services Group

 

STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, said today it has acquired automated contracting solution Agreemint from its founders. Terms were not disclosed.

The AI-powered contracting platform brings important new capabilities to the market-leading ISG GovernX^® vendor compliance and risk management solution and will be used by ISG to add value to future platform solutions now in development.

“Our SaaS-based GovernX platform has been one of our fastest-growing areas over the last two years, especially as large organizations seek to control costs and mitigate risk from their ever- expanding supplier ecosystems,” said Michael P. Connors, chairman and CEO of ISG. “Our acquisition of Agreemint creates the ultimate platform for enterprises to accelerate time to contract, keeping pace with their speed of technology adoption and partnership formation.”

The acquisition, Connors said, is part of ISG’s overall strategy to develop or acquire innovative SaaS-based platforms to complement its advisory business, bring more value to clients, and achieve consistent, double-digit recurring revenue growth.

Agreemint delivers automated contract authoring through a repository of legal positions to accelerate speed to contract. Its patented AI-powered smart functionality enables clients to negotiate better contracts by suggesting language proven to be legally compliant, governable and agreeable to both parties based upon analysis of previous contracting efforts. The software also anticipates language sticking points and includes a clause library that proposes pre-approved clause alternatives.

ISG has partnered with Agreemint since 2021 on solutions for several blue-chip ISG clients. Connors said the acquisition is a natural extension of that relationship and adding Agreemint software will make the ISG GovernX platform even more valuable for automating the entire contract lifecycle. GovernX has under management more than $60 billion of annual contact value, up 30 percent in the last year, across more than 10,000 client contracts, up 40 percent.

“Getting to ‘yes’ on a contract faster and more efficiently is what Agreemint is all about,” said Agreemint founder Peter Graham, who is joining ISG in an executive role. ”Agreemint’s AI-powered negotiating and contracting tools, coupled with GovernX’s extensive vendor compliance and risk management capabilities, makes GovernX the most complete solution for contract lifecycle management on the market today.”

Research, News, and Market Data on Information Services Group

 

STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, said today it has acquired automated contracting solution Agreemint from its founders. Terms were not disclosed.

The AI-powered contracting platform brings important new capabilities to the market-leading ISG GovernX^® vendor compliance and risk management solution and will be used by ISG to add value to future platform solutions now in development.

“Our SaaS-based GovernX platform has been one of our fastest-growing areas over the last two years, especially as large organizations seek to control costs and mitigate risk from their ever- expanding supplier ecosystems,” said Michael P. Connors, chairman and CEO of ISG. “Our acquisition of Agreemint creates the ultimate platform for enterprises to accelerate time to contract, keeping pace with their speed of technology adoption and partnership formation.”

The acquisition, Connors said, is part of ISG’s overall strategy to develop or acquire innovative SaaS-based platforms to complement its advisory business, bring more value to clients, and achieve consistent, double-digit recurring revenue growth.

Agreemint delivers automated contract authoring through a repository of legal positions to accelerate speed to contract. Its patented AI-powered smart functionality enables clients to negotiate better contracts by suggesting language proven to be legally compliant, governable and agreeable to both parties based upon analysis of previous contracting efforts. The software also anticipates language sticking points and includes a clause library that proposes pre-approved clause alternatives.

ISG has partnered with Agreemint since 2021 on solutions for several blue-chip ISG clients. Connors said the acquisition is a natural extension of that relationship and adding Agreemint software will make the ISG GovernX platform even more valuable for automating the entire contract lifecycle. GovernX has under management more than $60 billion of annual contact value, up 30 percent in the last year, across more than 10,000 client contracts, up 40 percent.

“Getting to ‘yes’ on a contract faster and more efficiently is what Agreemint is all about,” said Agreemint founder Peter Graham, who is joining ISG in an executive role. ”Agreemint’s AI-powered negotiating and contracting tools, coupled with GovernX’s extensive vendor compliance and risk management capabilities, makes GovernX the most complete solution for contract lifecycle management on the market today.”

Comtech to Donate Communications Terminals to Support the People of Ukraine

MELVILLE, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mar. 28, 2022– 
March 28, 2022— 
Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL), a leading global provider of next-generation 911 emergency systems and secure wireless communications technologies, announced today that the Company has donated COMET™ troposcatter systems at the request of the Ukrainian government.

Our COMET™ over-the-horizon transportable terminals were specifically requested by the Ukrainian government to support their urgent need for communications that can be relied upon, in any environment, under any conditions. The Comtech COMET™ is the world’s smallest and lightest modular man-packable troposcatter system and is part of a suite of troposcatter systems that provide Beyond-Line-of-Sight (“BLOS”) communications for governmental disaster recovery and commercial industrial applications.

“We share the profound concerns of the global community in the ongoing crisis that is gripping 
Ukraine, and causing untold suffering for its people,” said  Michael Porcelain, President and CEO of 
Comtech. “We know how critically important the ability to communicate is to the brave people living there, and we are proud to be able to support their needs. It is our hope that both parties – 
Russia and 
Ukraine – can find a way toward negotiating a durable and lasting peace.”

Mr. Porcelain further added, “Our customers rely on our 
Failsafe Communications equipment to work no matter where they are, or what’s going on outside – from armed conflict to negotiating a peace agreement. We appreciate that our response is a small contribution in the face of an enormous crisis, but we are honored to have an opportunity to play whatever role we can in helping restore peace to this area of the world.”

Since 2017, 
Comtech has supported multiple communications upgrade and modernization initiatives for the 
Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. Despite the enormous uncertainties enveloping the region, 
Comtech was able to respond to Ukraine’s request to help meet a desperate need for the types of 
Failsafe Communications solutions that 
Comtech can provide.
