Gandhi Global Family and the Church of Scientology Netherlands honour Mahatma Gandhi and discuss cooperation on peace, human rights education and youth engagement.
Brussels, Brussels, Belgium, 20th Aug 2026 — Representatives of the Gandhi Global Family, the Church of Scientology Netherlands and Dutch and Indian civil society gathered at the Mahatma Gandhi statue on Churchilllaan in Amsterdam for a floral tribute dedicated to peace, non-violence and human dignity.
The commemorative ceremony brought together Mr. Ram Mohan Rai, General Secretary of Gandhi Global Family; Mrs. Krishnakanta Rai; Gerbrig Deinum, human rights activist Community Relations Director of the Church of Scientology Amsterdam; Gandhian and human rights advocate and Board member of the Mahatma Ghandu Statue Foundation Patricia Haveman ; Robert Kruijt, Director of Public Affairs at the Church of Scientology Amsterdam, and young Gandhian and ambassador for United for Human Rights; and members of the Indian and Dutch communities.
Participants reflected on the continuing relevance of Gandhi’s principles of truth, non-violence, satyagraha and compassion at a time of armed conflict, social division and growing intolerance. Speakers emphasised that these principles are not confined to a particular country, culture or historical period, but provide a framework for individuals and communities seeking peaceful responses to injustice.
Rai spoke about Gandhi Global Family’s work to advance Gandhian philosophy, interfaith harmony, human rights and international friendship. He described Gandhi as a figure whose moral legacy belongs to the world and whose example places responsibility not only on governments and institutions, but also on individuals.
In remarks subsequently reported by Punjab Kesari, Rai said Gandhi’s life continues to convey a message of truth, moral courage and service to humanity. He urged people to translate admiration for Gandhi into practical conduct, noting that displaying his image is easier than living by his principles.
Deinum reflected on the historical symbolism of a Gandhi statue standing on an avenue bearing the name of Sir Winston Churchill. Churchill was a determined opponent of Gandhi and famously used the dismissive description “half-naked fakir.” The passage of time, Deinum observed, demonstrated that the moral influence of non-violent action could endure beyond imperial power.
“The location carries a powerful message,” Deinum said. “Gandhi’s ideas were ridiculed by some of the most influential figures of his time, yet his commitment to truth and non-violence helped transform history. His statue on Churchilllaan reminds us that ideas rooted in human dignity can outlive prejudice, hostility and political power.”
Rai later described Deinum as a Gandhian friend encountered in the Netherlands, reflecting the personal relationships that can emerge when people from different national, religious and cultural backgrounds work around shared humanitarian principles.
The bronze monument, created by Dutch sculptor Karel Gomes, depicts Gandhi walking with his staff, glasses and sandals. It was unveiled on 2 October 1990, the anniversary of Gandhi’s birth, following an initiative by the Dutch-Indian organisation Triveda. The design surrounding the statue incorporates interwoven natural stone, symbolising the reconciliation of opposites pursued through Gandhi’s non-violent struggle against racism and oppression.
The date of Gandhi’s birth is now observed by the United Nations as the International Day of Non-Violence, recognising the universal significance of his philosophy and his contribution to a culture of peace, tolerance and understanding.
Patricia Haveman praised Mr. and Mrs. Rai for their sustained dedication to peace and humanity. She described their work as a source of hope for communities and proposed an international Gandhian gathering on 2 October in The Hague and at the Amsterdam statue, with online participation enabling peace advocates from other countries to contribute.
The ceremony also opened discussions about future cooperation in India between Gandhi Global Family and United for Human Rights. Areas under consideration include human rights education, peace awareness and youth engagement grounded in the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and informed by Gandhi’s commitment to non-violent social change.
United for Human Rights produces educational materials explaining the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration in accessible language. The programme is supported by the Church of Scientology and is used by educators, community organisations and human rights advocates of varied religious and cultural backgrounds.
The Church’s support for human rights education is inspired by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, who maintained that spiritual freedom could not be separated from respect for fundamental human rights. He called upon Scientologists to support humanitarian efforts in the field, contributing to the development of educational initiatives intended to make the principles of the Universal Declaration more widely understood.
“The meeting in Amsterdam connected two important traditions of civic responsibility: Gandhi’s insistence that peaceful change begins with personal integrity, and the conviction that human rights must be understood before they can be effectively protected,” said Ivan Arjona, Scientology’s representative to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations. “European societies are strongest when people of different beliefs and backgrounds cooperate around human dignity, freedom of conscience and non-violence. Giving younger generations practical knowledge of their rights is an investment in peace and democratic resilience.”
The participation of the Church of Scientology Amsterdam continued its involvement in local interfaith and humanitarian activities. The Amsterdam Church, established in the city in 1972, works with community organisations and advocates on initiatives concerning education, human rights and social responsibility.
Robert Kruijt brought a youth perspective to the gathering, linking Gandhian thought with contemporary human rights education. Participants agreed that younger generations should encounter Gandhi not simply as a historical figure, but through discussions about how non-violence, moral courage and respect for others can guide responses to present-day discrimination and conflict.
The programme concluded with a collective pledge to carry forward Gandhi’s message of peace, compassion, non-violence and respect for human rights. The floral tribute served both as remembrance and as an expression of continued cooperation between Indian and Dutch participants committed to translating those principles into community action.

Octopus Bridge connects Lightspeed Retail with Shopify, helping retailers synchronize inventory, products, pricing, customers and orders with a usage-based pricing model starting at $0 per month.
San Jose, CA, United States, 20th Aug 2026 – Octopus Bridge offers a Lightspeed Shopify integration that connects Lightspeed Retail point-of-sale systems with Shopify online stores, giving retailers a way to synchronize inventory, product data, pricing, customer records and online orders between their physical and ecommerce operations without manual data entry across systems.
Retailers who sell through both a physical store and a Shopify site often manage inventory and product information separately in each system. Without a connection between the two, staff may need to update stock levels and product details manually in more than one place, increasing the risk of inventory discrepancies, duplicate data entry and overselling. Online orders may also require manual entry into the POS system, a challenge that becomes more complex for retailers operating multiple store locations.
Octopus Bridge is a retail integration platform that connects a range of point-of-sale and ecommerce systems; the Lightspeed-Shopify connection is one of the integrations it supports. For Lightspeed Retail and Shopify merchants, the platform synchronizes:
Inventory levels between POS and Shopify
Product listings, including product variants
Product Images
Pricing updates
Customer records
Shopify orders
Multi-location inventory synchronization is supported where the underlying Lightspeed configuration allows for it. The integration is compatible with both Lightspeed Retail R-Series and Lightspeed Retail X-Series, though the two platforms do not behave identically at a technical level, and with Shopify and Shopify Plus.
A notable aspect of the offering is its pricing structure. Octopus Bridge’s Lightspeed-Shopify integration starts at $0 per month, using a usage-based model in which retailers pay according to the volume of Shopify orders synchronized through the platform. Retailers with no Shopify orders in a given period incur no usage charges. The model allows a smaller retailer processing a modest number of online orders to begin using the integration without committing to a large fixed monthly fee, while larger or higher-volume merchants scale their costs with order activity.
“Retailers shouldn’t have to choose between paying for integration capacity they don’t use and doing manual data entry to avoid it,” said AJ Jindal, CEO at Octopus Bridge. “A usage-based model lets a store that’s just getting started with online orders connect Lightspeed and Shopify from day one, without taking on a fixed cost that doesn’t match their order volume.”
For retailers running Lightspeed Retail in-store and Shopify online, the integration is intended to reduce the manual coordination required to keep both systems aligned. Rather than updating inventory and product data separately in each platform, or manually entering Shopify orders into the POS, retailers can rely on Octopus Bridge to keep the two environments synchronized on a near-real-time basis, supporting fewer discrepancies and more straightforward order processing as an online storefront grows alongside a physical one.
The integration is aimed at independent and multi-location retailers who want to expand or maintain a Shopify storefront without replacing their existing Lightspeed POS setup.
About Octopus Bridge
Octopus Bridge is a retail integration platform that connects point-of-sale and ecommerce systems, including Lightspeed Retail and Shopify. The platform helps retailers synchronize inventory, product, pricing, customer and order data across their sales channels, reducing manual data entry and helping businesses manage in-store and online operations through connected systems.

David Mali of ARKBRIDGE at the Finance Magnates London Summit 2025 in London, discussing the growing role of AI and technology in modern trading and risk management.
ARKBRIDGE is expanding its AI-supported approach to portfolio monitoring and risk management, combining technology-driven market analysis with specialist human oversight to help traders and investors better understand and manage portfolio exposure.
The approach brings together AI-supported monitoring, manual market research, and diversified allocation strategies, with a focus on identifying changes in volatility, concentration, correlation, and overall portfolio risk.
David Mali, Senior Investment Specialist at ARKBRIDGE, is leading the company’s specialist perspective on the role of technology in modern trading and risk management. With more than 15 years of financial-market experience, Mali combines traditional research and professional allocation with technology-supported monitoring to develop structured risk frameworks for traders and investors.
Mali previously discussed the growing role of AI and technology in modern trading and risk management at the Finance Magnates London Summit 2025 in London.
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in global trading, Mali believes technology delivers its greatest value when it strengthens disciplined human decision-making rather than replacing it.
His approach follows a simple three-part framework: “Research manually. Allocate professionally. Monitor technologically.”
“The initial decision still matters most,” said David Mali of ARKBRIDGE. “You need to understand what you are buying or trading, why the opportunity exists, and what could prove you wrong. Once that research is done, professional allocation and continuous technology-driven monitoring can help control the risks around that decision.”
More Than 420 Portfolio-Risk Reviews in 2025
According to draft ARKBRIDGE internal review data for 2025, Mali completed more than 420 portfolio-risk reviews and 310 one-to-one client strategy sessions.
Approximately 78% of initial portfolio reviews identified at least one area requiring further attention involving concentration, leverage or correlated market exposure.
Following allocation reviews, excessive single-theme concentration was reduced by an average of approximately 34%, while 92% of reviewed portfolios incorporated predefined downside controls.
For Mali, these numbers reinforce a core principle: a good investment idea does not automatically create a good portfolio.
“A trader can be right about several individual opportunities and still have too much risk because all of those positions respond to the same market event,” Mali explained. “That is why allocation, correlation and total portfolio exposure matter just as much as selecting the trade itself.”
AI as a Second Layer of Risk Control
ARKBRIDGE combines human specialist guidance with AI-powered market and portfolio tools designed to monitor changing conditions continuously.
The platform’s technology can help identify shifts in volatility, concentration, correlations and market exposure while clients retain control over their individual trading decisions.
During 2025, approximately 89% of Mali’s qualifying clients incorporated at least one AI-supported monitoring or risk-management tool into their trading process, while 97% of reviewed accounts used documented stop-loss, exposure-limit or other predefined downside-risk rules.
Mali’s portfolio reviews can also consider more than 12 stress scenarios, including equity-market shocks, currency volatility, rate changes and sudden increases in cross-asset correlation.
“Human research tells you why you want to own a position,” Mali said. “Technology helps answer a different question: what is happening to the risk around that position right now?”
Transparent Trading Costs Are Also Risk Management
Mali’s framework extends beyond stop losses and portfolio allocation.
He considers transparent total trading cost an essential part of risk management.
Spreads, overnight financing, currency conversion, leverage and holding periods can all affect the final result of a strategy. A position that looks attractive before costs may produce a very different risk-reward profile once those expenses are included.
ARKBRIDGE publishes information on spreads, overnight funding and other applicable trading costs so clients can evaluate these factors before and during a position.
“Risk management is not just about avoiding a large loss,” Mali said. “It is about understanding exposure, costs, leverage, diversification and how those elements interact across the entire portfolio.”
The Goal: A Portfolio You Can Understand
Mali describes his philosophy in more personal terms.
His objective is not to remove uncertainty from markets—something no trader or technology can achieve—but to make risk understandable enough that clients are not constantly reacting to every market movement.
“My definition of good risk management is simple,” said Mali. “Do the research properly, spread the exposure intelligently and use technology to keep watching the risks. If the framework is built correctly, you should be able to step away from the screen and sleep well at night.”
That philosophy increasingly defines David Mali’s role at ARKBRIDGE: combining more than 15 years of human market experience with AI-supported portfolio monitoring, disciplined allocation and transparent risk controls.
Mali’s approach reflects a broader principle within ARKBRIDGE: effective CFD trading starts with understanding and controlling risk before focusing on potential returns. The platform combines AI-assisted portfolio monitoring with human specialist guidance and a range of practical risk-management controls, including stop-loss and take-profit orders, trailing stops, margin monitoring, margin close-out controls and negative-balance protection for retail clients. These tools are designed to help traders define risk before entering a position, monitor exposure while markets are moving and respond when conditions change. ARKBRIDGE’s AI-supported technology adds another layer by helping clients identify changes in volatility, concentration and portfolio exposure, while experienced specialists can provide context around allocation, market conditions and the appropriate use of available risk tools.
Looking Ahead
As ARKBRIDGE continues to expand, the combination of human market experience, AI-supported portfolio monitoring, disciplined risk-management controls and transparent trading costs will remain central to its approach. For David Mali, the objective is not to predict every market move, but to help clients build a clearer and more structured framework around the decisions they make. By bringing together more than 15 years of market experience with modern technology, portfolio-level risk monitoring and a strong focus on cost transparency, ARKBRIDGE aims to give traders and investors the tools, information and human support needed to approach global markets with greater discipline, clarity and control.

All Home Care Matters announces a new partnership bringing together Memoryboard and “The Senior Care Influencer” to expand awareness of practical technology supporting older adults, family caregivers, and aging in place.
Livonia, Michigan, United States, 20th Aug 2026 – All Home Care Matters is proud to announce a new partnership between its founder and host, Lance A. Slatton, widely known as “The Senior Care Influencer,” and Memoryboard, naming Slatton an official Brand Ambassador for Memoryboard and bringing together two missions centered on supporting older adults, family caregivers, and the professionals who serve them.
As the host and founder of All Home Care Matters, President of AlzAuthors, co-founder of Enriched Life Home Care Services, author, caregiver advocate, and nationally recognized voice in senior care, Slatton has spent years helping families better understand the realities of caregiving, aging, dementia, home care, and long-term care.
The new partnership represents a shared commitment between Memoryboard and Slatton to help make everyday life more manageable for older adults while giving families and caregivers practical tools that can strengthen communication, connection, confidence, and independence.
“Some of the most meaningful innovations in caregiving are not about adding more complexity to a family’s day. They are about removing it,” said Lance A. Slatton. “What immediately stood out to me about Memoryboard is how thoughtfully it addresses something families struggle with every single day: helping an aging loved one know what is happening, what they need to remember, and that the people who love them are still connected to them.”
Technology Designed Around the Older Adult
Memoryboard was created to help older adults remain informed, connected, and supported throughout their day without requiring them to become comfortable with complicated new technology.
Through Memoryboard, family members and caregivers can remotely send photos, reminders, appointments, daily schedules, and personal messages directly to the device. That information is then displayed clearly on the screen for the older adult to see.
There is no need for the individual receiving the information to manage an app, answer a phone, navigate menus, or learn an unfamiliar piece of technology simply to access the information being shared with them.
That simplicity is central to the Memoryboard mission.
For families supporting an older adult who may be experiencing memory loss, dementia, cognitive changes, or difficulty following daily routines, even seemingly small pieces of information can have an enormous impact.
hat time is the doctor’s appointment? Who is coming to visit today? Has the medication reminder already been shared? What is happening this afternoon? When will a family member call? What day is it?
A familiar photograph, a personal note, or a clearly displayed reminder can provide more than information. It can provide reassurance, orientation, familiarity, and connection.
Slatton believes that distinction is especially important.
“When someone is living with memory challenges, we have to remember that what may feel like a simple reminder to us can represent reassurance and confidence to them,” Slatton said. “Being able to look at one place and see a familiar face, a message from family, an appointment, or what is happening that day can help reduce uncertainty while allowing the older adult to remain more engaged in their own routine.”
Supporting the Caregiver as Well as the Older Adult
Memoryboard was also developed with another important person in mind: the caregiver.
Family caregiving frequently involves managing a seemingly endless stream of information. Appointments, visits, schedules, medications, meals, transportation, home care, family communication, and everyday reminders can quickly become part of a caregiver’s daily responsibilities.
At the same time, many caregivers are balancing careers, raising children, managing their own households, and coordinating care from another home—or even another state.
Technology can be valuable in that environment, but only when it makes caregiving easier rather than creating another task to manage.
“Caregivers already have enough on their plates,” Slatton said. “Technology should not become one more thing they have to worry about. The best solutions are the ones that quietly fit into the family’s life and help solve a real problem. Memoryboard gives families another way to communicate important information while allowing the older adult to receive it in a format designed to be simple and accessible.”
Why Memoryboard Chose Lance A. Slatton
Memoryboard’s decision to partner with Slatton reflects his longstanding work within the caregiving and senior care communities.
Through All Home Care Matters, Slatton has helped educate and connect family caregivers, older adults, healthcare professionals, researchers, nonprofit organizations, advocates, policymakers, innovators, and leaders from across the aging and long-term care continuum.
His work has consistently focused on helping families become better informed, ensuring caregivers feel seen and supported, and elevating conversations that can improve the lives of older adults.
Memoryboard saw a natural alignment between that work and its own mission.
“Lance has built tremendous trust within the caregiving and senior care community because his work begins with the realities families experience every day,” the Memoryboard team shared. “His commitment to older adults, family caregivers, education, and better care closely reflects what Memoryboard was created to support. We are excited to welcome Lance as a Brand Ambassador and to work together to reach families who may benefit from this technology.”
For Slatton, accepting the Brand Ambassador role was about more than representing a product. It was about aligning with a company whose work addresses challenges he has witnessed throughout his career in senior care
“Being named a Brand Ambassador for Memoryboard is meaningful because I want the organizations I partner with to share the same fundamental goal that has guided my work for years: making life better for older adults and the people who care for them,” Slatton said. “Memoryboard is addressing a very real part of caregiving—the need to remain connected and informed without making life more complicated for the person receiving care.”
“Families do not need technology simply for the sake of having more technology. They need tools that serve a purpose. They need solutions that recognize the realities of aging, caregiving, dementia, and independence. That is what makes me excited about introducing more families to Memoryboard.”
Preserving Independence Without Sacrificing Connection
One of the most difficult balances families face is determining how to provide additional support without unnecessarily taking independence away from an aging loved one.
A person may need more reminders than they once did. They may occasionally forget appointments or become confused about the day’s schedule. Family members may want to remain closely involved even when they cannot physically be present.
Those circumstances do not automatically mean that an older adult should lose control over their day.
In many cases, the right support can help preserve independence longer.
“Supporting someone does not have to mean taking over everything for them,” Slatton said. “One of the goals of good caregiving should always be to preserve as much dignity, autonomy, and independence as safely possible. Sometimes providing the right information at the right moment can make a meaningful difference in helping someone continue navigating their day with greater confidence.”
A Partnership Focused on Education
The partnership between Memoryboard and Slatton will extend beyond simply introducing the product to the All Home Care Matters community.
Together, Memoryboard, Slatton, and the All Home Care Matters team plan to develop and share educational content, real-world caregiving conversations, product demonstrations, family experiences, and resources designed to help people better understand how practical technology can fit into an overall caregiving plan.
The collaboration will also help create greater awareness around a larger issue: how families can thoughtfully use technology to support aging in place, dementia care, family communication, independence, and caregiver coordination.
“This partnership gives us an opportunity to do something much bigger than simply talk about a device,” Slatton said. “We can have meaningful conversations about why communication becomes so important as someone ages, what families experience when memory begins to change, how caregivers can support independence, and where thoughtfully designed technology can help.”
For families confronting dementia or cognitive decline, these conversations are especially important.
There is no single technology that can eliminate the challenges associated with memory loss, nor can technology replace the presence, judgment, compassion, and human connection provided by families and professional caregivers. But the right technology can become another tool within that circle of support.
“Nothing replaces human connection,” Slatton said. “Technology should strengthen that connection, not compete with it. What I appreciate about Memoryboard is that much of what appears on the screen ultimately comes from another person—a family member, caregiver, or someone who wants that older adult to know what is happening and to know they are thinking about them.”
Meeting Families Where They Are
Every caregiving journey looks different.
Some families live together. Others coordinate care across cities or states. Some older adults remain almost entirely independent while needing occasional reminders. Others are living with progressive cognitive changes and require greater involvement from family members or professional caregivers.
There is no universal solution for every family.
There is, however, tremendous value in creating tools flexible enough to support families at different points along that journey.
That is ultimately what both Memoryboard and Slatton hope this partnership will accomplish: introduce families to another practical resource while continuing to provide education that helps them make informed decisions about the care and support of the people they love.
“Caregiving is rarely about one enormous decision,” Slatton said. “It is often hundreds of small decisions made day after day. Anything that can make some of those moments easier, improve communication, provide reassurance, or help someone remain more confident in their own home deserves our attention.”
Looking Ahead
As Brand Ambassador, Lance A. Slatton will work alongside Memoryboard to expand awareness of technology designed specifically around the everyday needs of older adults and caregivers.
The partnership will also provide opportunities to demonstrate Memoryboard in real caregiving scenarios, share educational resources with families, and continue conversations about supporting older adults through memory changes, dementia, aging in place, and evolving care needs.
For Memoryboard, the collaboration represents an opportunity to reach a growing community of families searching for practical support.
For Slatton, it represents another extension of a mission that has remained consistent throughout his work in senior care.
“I have had the privilege of hearing the stories of thousands of caregivers, families, professionals, and older adults,” Slatton said. “Again and again, the message is the same: families want to do the best they possibly can for the people they love, but they need information, resources, and support to do it. I am proud to become a Brand Ambassador for Memoryboard and excited about what we can accomplish together to help more families feel informed, connected, and supported.”
Memoryboard shares that enthusiasm.
This partnership marks the beginning of an ongoing collaboration focused on education, caregiver support, aging in place, memory care, family connection, and practical technology designed with older adults in mind.
Most importantly, it reflects a shared belief that while caregiving can be complicated, the tools created to support families do not have to be.
Sometimes, making one important piece of the day a little clearer can make the entire day feel more manageable.

PrimeXBT, a global multi-asset broker, has expanded its Swap-Free offering to PXTrader 2.0, giving traders access to both Swap-Free and Extended Swap-Free accounts on its proprietary Crypto and CFD trading platform.
Swap-Free replaces the usual overnight swap with a fixed USD-per-lot administrative fee, giving traders more predictable holding costs that can be factored into their strategies, rather than having to account for fluctuating swaps and triple-swap days. Extended Swap-Free removes the overnight administrative fee entirely, with eligibility determined by trading activity and the length of time positions are held. Together, the options make PXTrader 2.0 accessible to traders who cannot pay or receive interest on religious grounds, while providing greater flexibility for those who hold positions overnight.
“Trading costs are often assessed through spreads and commissions, but for traders who keep positions open for longer, the way overnight financing is structured can be equally relevant,” said Jonatan Randin, Senior Market Analyst at PrimeXBT. “Individual requirements also differ significantly, meaning these conditions can ultimately influence not only how traders approach the market, but where they choose to trade.”
The Swap-Free option is available to all PXTrader 2.0 users and can be selected when opening a new account or enabled later through account settings. Swap-Free status and progress towards Extended Swap-Free are shown in-account, while current fees, eligibility criteria, and supported instruments are available under Fees & Conditions > Swap-Free Rules. PrimeXBT also offers Swap-Free trading on MT5, with the key difference that Extended Swap-Free on PXTrader 2.0 has no 30-day limit or instrument exclusions.
The addition of Swap-Free further expands the flexibility of PXTrader 2.0, where traders can access Crypto Futures and CFDs on Forex, Commodities, Indices, Shares and Crypto from a single account. The platform offers competitive trading costs, TradingView-powered charting, adjustable leverage up to 1:1000, and integrated risk-management tools. Accounts are available in USD and cryptocurrencies, including BTC and ETH, allowing traders to use crypto as trading capital across CFD markets. A wide range of fiat, crypto, and local payment methods provides further flexibility in funding accounts.
The introduction of Swap-Free and Extended Swap-Free reflects PrimeXBT’s continued focus on improving trading conditions across its ecosystem, with greater cost efficiency and more choice in how traders access and manage global markets.
PrimeXBT is a global multi-asset broker and crypto asset service provider trusted by traders in more than 150 countries. The platform bridges traditional and digital markets within one integrated environment, redefining versatility and innovation in online trading. Clients can access Forex, CFDs on indices, commodities, shares, crypto, and Crypto Futures, as well as buy, store, and exchange cryptocurrencies. This unified experience extends across both the native PXTrader 2.0 platform and MetaTrader 5, supported by advanced risk-management tools and a wide range of funding options in crypto, fiat, and local payment methods. Since 2018, PrimeXBT has focused on empowering traders through broad multi-asset access, fair and transparent conditions, professional-grade technology and dedicated human support.
