kevin.

In einem bahnbrechenden Ereignis, das die Zahlungslandschaft in Geschäften durcheinanderbringen wird, hat kevin., ein Pionier in der Zahlungstechnologie, die erste jemals durchgeführte NFC-Transaktion von Konto zu Konto auf einem iPhone erfolgreich abgewickelt. Video der Transaktion: Link In einer finanziellen Welt, in der Bequemlichkeit und Sicherheit von größter Bedeutung sind, hat kevin. einen neuen Höhepunkt erreicht, indem er die erste nicht-Apple-Pay NFC-Zahlung von Konto zu Konto auf einem iPhone ausgeführt hat. Dieser technologische Sprung nach vorne folgt dem Druck der Europäischen Kommission auf Apple, den NFC-Zugang zu demokratisieren. Es kommt nach Jahren, in denen Apples strenge Kontrolle über die NFC-Technologie in iOS-Geräten den Wettbewerb Dritter gedrosselt hatte.

Wir sind ungemein stolz, die Ersten zu sein, die Transaktionen von Konto zu Konto unter Verwendung von Apples NFC ermöglichen, und geben den Verbrauchern damit die Macht zu wählen, wie sie bezahlen.“ Im Januar 2022 sorgte kevin. für Aufsehen, indem diese innovative Zahlungsmethode für Android-Nutzer ermöglicht wurde, ein Schritt, der für seine Originalität und seinen Antrieb hin zu einem offenen Zahlungsökosystem gelobt wurde. Jetzt, mit den regulatorischen Änderungen im Gleichschritt, erlangte kevin. schnell die Autorisierung unter Apples NFC-Berechtigungsprogramm und begann mit der Entwicklung in ihrer kontrollierten Umgebung. Nur sechs Wochen nach dem Start von Apples Programm feierte kevin. die erfolgreiche Durchführung der experimentellen Transaktion im Entwicklungsmodus und ebnete damit den Weg für eine Revolution der Interaktionen am Point of Sale (POS). Sokolovas umriss die technische Reise: „Wir haben rigoros innerhalb von Apples Architekturrahmen entwickelt. Unser Team arbeitete unermüdlich daran, unsere technische Lösung von kevin. in die Host-Card-Emulation (HCE) von Apple zu integrieren, einschließlich Sicherheitsstandards, Transaktionsvalidierung und so vielem mehr, um ein nahtloses Erlebnis zu schaffen, das Benutzern Transaktionen innerhalb ihrer Bank- oder Wallet-Apps ermöglicht.“ Die Europäische Kommission setzt die Überwachung des Feedbacks von Frühentwicklern wie kevin. fort, während sie den offiziellen Beginn einer breiteren NFC-Implementierung erwartet. Diese Prüfung unterstreicht das Engagement der Kommission, Innovation und gerechten Wettbewerb im Bereich mobiler Zahlungen zu fördern. Mit Blick auf die Zukunft erwartet die Branche einen Anstieg ähnlicher Zahlungslösungen nach diesem anfänglichen Erfolg. kevin. hat tatsächlich einen dominierenden Präzedenzfall gesetzt, der ein offenes Marktversprechen macht, in dem Verbraucher nicht länger auf plattformspezifische Zahlungssysteme beschränkt sind – eine grundlegende Umgestaltung der Art und Weise, wie Transaktionen weltweit durchgeführt werden. kevin. ist ein visionäres Technologieunternehmen, das Zahlungssysteme für die Bedürfnisse von morgen neu gestaltet. Von ihrem globalen Hauptsitz in Europa bis zur jüngsten Expansion in den pulsierenden Finanzknotenpunkt Dubai, kevins Mission war stets konsequent: zuverlässige End-to-End-Technologie und signifikante Einsparungen bei Transaktionsgebühren anzubieten, ohne die Art und Weise zu ändern, wie Menschen bezahlen. Die Einführung ihres mandantenfähigen, markenagnostischen Netzwerks zur Zahlungsannahme markiert eine bedeutende Verschiebung für Verbraucher und Unternehmen gleichermaßen und gewährt Autonomie und Wert, unbeeinträchtigt durch die Beschränkungen überkommener Technologie.

New Alvarez & Marsal Spring 2024 Consumer Sentiment Report Highlights Impact of Ongoing Consumer Skepticism on Spring & Summer Spending Plans

Alvarez & Marsal Consumer and Retail Group

Consumers, specifically those with higher household incomes, intend to reduce spending on essentials, experiences, gifts, and indulgences this spring The number of higher-income earners cutting back on spending to prioritize saving has increased in Spring ’24 compared to previous cycles Cost-conscious consumers are increasingly engaging in sales and second-hand shopping as a way to reduce spending Despite financial uncertainty, consumers are still eager to take vacations this year, showing resilience in their desire for leisure compared to last spring (2023) Global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal’s Consumer and Retail Group (A&M CRG) released its latest consumer report, Consumer Sentiment Survey Spring 2024, which examines the influence of inflation and resulting changes in consumer spending over the last year, as well as spending outlook for the upcoming six-month timeframe. This is the sixth chapter of its bi-annual Consumer Sentiment Report, based on a survey of 1,800+ consumers matching the U.S. adult population according to gender, age, ethnicity, region and income. The report delves into shifting behaviors in response to personal finances and economic conditions. It includes insights into consumers' shopping priorities across categories, concerns about increasing prices, vacation plans, and other factors shaping purchase decisions for the upcoming spring season, among other relevant insights. “Our semi-annual survey aims to analyze the influence of ongoing economic concerns on consumer spending patterns, channel preferences, and their overall confidence in financial stability over time. Retailers can utilize the data and insights from our report to develop financial plans, efficiently manage inventory, enhance marketing campaigns, and establish pricing strategies at a category level,” stated Chad Lusk, Managing Director at Alvarez & Marsal’s Consumer and Retail Group. “This survey cycle reveals a growing consumer pessimism as we head into the spring season, with intentions to exercise greater caution in spending especially in higher income households.” The study found that: Consumer outlook for spring is weaker as consumers are anticipating spending less and having less money versus Fall ‘23 Consumers are planning to reduce spending across the board but show the smallest decline in spending intentions for experiences compared to Fall ‘23, with a rising number of respondents planning vacations this year In higher income brackets, there's a notable trend towards prioritizing saving over spending. In the $200K+ income bracket, the percentage of respondents prioritizing saving surged by 12% compared to Fall '23. Across various spending categories, we consistently observed the most significant decreases in desire to spend in the higher income households Higher income households are turning to second-hand shopping to save money. The number of respondents earning $100K+ who shop second-hand to save costs increased by 10% this spring. "Retailers must recognize the cautious consumer mindset and adjust strategic priorities accordingly to align with spending plans," Lusk advised. "Retailers, particularly ones servicing higher income consumers, should anticipate providing discounts and promotions across different categories as the season progresses, also while implementing flexible inventory strategies to minimize overall liabilities, given that those typically less affected by recession or inflation will be spending less.” To download a pdf of Consumer Sentiment Survey Spring 2024, please visit: https://alvarezandmarsal-crg.com/insight/consumer-sentiment-survey-spring-24/ The Alvarez and Marsal Consumer and Retail Group (CRG) is a management consulting firm that tackles the most complex challenges and advances its clients, people, and communities towards their maximum potential.

Ripple CEO's Claims Crypto Market Will Explode to $5T; Polkadot and KangaMoon Steal the Show

Kangamoon

The Ripple (XRP) CEO recently said that the crypto market value is on track to reach $5T. This has made traders scramble to get into the crypto market. Two altcoins have captured the spotlight in this space - Polkadot (DOT) and KangaMoon (KANG). While you may be familiar with DOT, KANG is a Stage 5 presale star that may surge by 50x in 2024. Ripple (XRP) CEO: Crypto Market To Double in Size The CEO of Ripple (XRP), Brad Garlinghouse, predicted that the cryptocurrency market's cap could exceed $5T before the end of this year. In an interview with CNBC, the Ripple CEO cited macroeconomic factors such as the first US Bitcoin spot ETF and the upcoming BTC halving event as reasons for this growth. The Ripple crypto value has fluctuated between $0.62 and $0.60 in the past 30 days alone. Its market cap fell from $34.10B to $33.40B during that time. However, the technical analysis for Ripple paints a bullish picture. For instance, there are 25 green technical indicators for this altcoin. Due to all this bullish Ripple news, analysts foresee a growth to $0.87 within Q2 of 2024. Polkadot (DOT): Active Addresses Reach 600K – a New Record Meanwhile, Polkadot (DOT) is another altcoin that has been making headlines. In other words, Polkadot recently announced that its activity continues rising. For example, there are now over 600,000 on-chain active addresses on the Polkadot blockchain. This Polkadot news may trigger a rally for this crypto, which has grown in value from $6.21 to $9 over the past 12 months. Its market cap surged from $7.30B to $12.68B in that period. Additionally, the Polkadot crypto trades above its 50 and 100-day EMAs. As a result, experts in the crypto field predict DOT will hit $12.84 before Q2 of 2024 ends. KangaMoon (KANG): To Top the Best Altcoin List Amid Ripple and Polkadot gaining traction, KangaMoon (KANG) has emerged as one of the best altcoins to buy. This rising presale star has already raised over $4.4M, and projections hint at a growth to $5M before April 2024 ends. Not only that, it has already provided early buyers with a 290% ROI—a stellar performance for a presale. This altcoin's long-term growth potential is stellar since it will tap into the P2E gaming sector, which has been projected to reach $885M. KangaMoon is getting ready to introduce a P2E game where its native token, KANG, will be the main in-game currency. KANG holders will access weekly, monthly, or quarterly challenges and earn more tokens or in-game assets. Another exciting aspect of KangaMoon is its community-driven focus. For instance, KangaMoon will give the most active community members free KANG before its launch. Therefore, over 20,000 registered community members now like and share KangaMoon's social media posts. Currently, this altcoin costs just $0.0196 as it is in Stage 5 of its presale—a big increase from its starting price of $0.005. If things keep on going up, analysts expect a 50x surge once KANG is listed on a Tier-1 CEX in Q2 of 2024. Due to all these reasons, KANG is one of the best altcoins to watch in 2024. Will KangaMoon Surge Faster than Ripple and Polkadot? KangaMoon can potentially surge ahead of other altcoins like Ripple and Polkadot. This is because KANG has a low market cap of $19.6M, which means it requires way less money for its price to increase.
