📰 Featured in Newsday Media Group: The Emotional Toll of Online Scams As the holiday season approaches, a stark reality emerges: scams are on the rise, and their impact extends far beyond stolen dollars. Our CEO, Paige Schaffer, shared critical insights about why this time of year is particularly dangerous: 💭 "The holiday season is a prime time for scammers. Because many people are busy and stressed, and may feel more charitable, they may be easier targets." The article reveals heartbreaking stories, including an 83-year-old Long Island woman who lost $20,000 in retirement savings. Key findings highlighted: 🔍 77% of Americans say they are targeted by a scammer on average once a day 💔 25% of victims considered self-harm in the aftermath 📊 The FBI documented a record $16.6 billion in losses in 2024 As Paige explains: "Scammers succeed by exploiting universal emotions like fear, urgency, greed, loneliness, and trust. They're looking for moments of vulnerability." The reality? Anyone can become a victim — regardless of age, income, or tech-savviness. This important piece underscores why education, vigilance, and compassionate support are more crucial than ever. 🔗 Read the full article: https://nwsdy.li/49MPu9J Let's work together to protect our communities this holiday season and beyond. #FraudPrevention #HolidaySafety #IdentityTheft #CyberSecurity #ScamAwareness #IrisIDProtect #Newsday #ConsumerProtection #LongIslandRetry #HolidaySeason

Insightful article from BridgePort CPO Steven Bartfield on how pre-funding impacts crypto exchanges ability to take on institutional liquidity at scale. Read more in Markets Media at the link 👇 https://lnkd.in/ebn24YvT
Our CPO, Steven Bartfield, has penned a new op-ed for Markets Media: In this piece, Steve dives into a critical challenge holding back institutional adoption in digital assets: the outdated and capital-inefficient practice of prefunding across multiple trading venues. He argues that this "analog crutch" is simply unsustainable for institutions looking for true scalability, capital efficiency, and robust risk management. Steve outlines why the industry must move beyond these legacy approaches and embrace modern, secure off-exchange settlement solutions to truly unlock the potential of digital assets for institutional players. This is a must-read about the future of institutional crypto market structure. 🔗 Read the full op-ed here: https://lnkd.in/ehTyPxAa #InstitutionalCrypto #CapitalEfficiency #MarketStructure
