FTX

The FTX debacle was a setback for Fintech but it doesn’t mean the end of blockchain.  Just this week , Goldman Sachs completed a $300m bond offering using blockchain technology. A process that normally takes several days was executed in minutes, saving tons of time & money.

Here’s a fine oped by the Goldman Sachs CEO from the WSJ that elaborates on how important blockchain is for the future of our economy:

Crypto Meltdown & Terra

The Terra stablecoin meltdown today shows how risky crypto can be in these challenging times. Bitcoin, Eth and other crypto currencies are under pressure as well. Personally, I am more optimistic about Ether. The upcoming Merge and Layer 2 will help generate more usage of Eth as “gas” for Blockchain transactions.  Bitcoin doesn’t have these advantages.

Quadrant Biosciences Answers Governor’s call for Covid Testing

SYRACUSE, NEW YORK, USA, January 14, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SUNY Partners with Quadrant Biosciences to Provide Community COVID Testing 

SUNY schools across New York State are partnering with Syracuse-based Quadrant Biosciences to open free COVID testing sites for members of the community. The new sites are open to the public and intended to help address the growing demand for additional COVID testing sites in the county. 

Adults or children who are looking to get tested are encourage to schedule an appointment. Anyone experiencing active COVID symptoms is strongly encouraged to consult their healthcare provider to determine if testing is appropriate or if they need to seek further examination. The Clarifi COVID-19 Saliva test from Quadrant Biosciences is currently the most sensitive saliva test on the market, and can detect all known variants including the Omicron variant.

“We are happy to partner with SUNY to support access to COVID PCR testing as we recognize there is an unmet need in the community for access to testing,” said Rita Romano, President of Quadrant Laboratories, the laboratory division of Quadrant Biosciences.
