Dear customers, partners and interested parties, The holiday season is just around the corner and before you start your well-deserved holidays, we would like to briefly inform you about our activities of the past months. As always, a lot has happened. For example, we can announce the cooperation with two exciting new partners. We are also very pleased that the number of banks using our MAX Fund Trade service has continued to grow. It is also worth taking a look at the follow-up report to our MACD Conference 2023 - we will be happy to provide a summary. Golf fans among our customers and partners can look forward to a second MACD Golf Event, which will take place in September. Beginners are also very welcome! We hope you enjoy reading. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact us at macdnews@macd.com. Best regards MACD Conference 2023: Client interest in digital assets trading on the riseMore than 70 percent of the participants at this year's MACD Conference 2023 confirmed in a live survey that they are receiving more enquiries from clients about digital assets trading. Experts from InCore Bank AG, Sygnum Bank AG as well as Berner Kantonalbank AG analysed these results in the panel discussion, informed about possible ways of implementing and gave tips. Speakers from Incentage AG and Inventx AG shared their knowledge on the important topics of 'Increasing Compliance Requirements in a Networked World' and 'Expanding Role of Technology in Banking'. George Macdonald, CEO MACD, rounded off the conference with some MACD News. As always, there was plenty of time for networking and sharing within the MACD community. We will be happy to provide further results of the live survey and a summary of the presentations and panel discussion to members of the MACD community on request at macdnews@macd.com. Here you can find the presentations for download: Welcome to the MACD Community: ARTEXIn cooperation with ARTEX, the world's first art stock exchange, we offer all MACD customers the opportunity to trade a new, alternative asset class. Art shares will take the form of standardized transferable securities, like shares listed on a stock exchange. ARTEX aims to democratize the fine art market, making it inclusive and accessible. Art shares will have an initial nominal value of EUR 100. Yassir Benjelloun-Touimi, ARTEX Co-Founder and CEO: 'We have been relentlessly working on the launch of ARTEX for three years now. I am thrilled that our vision of democratizing iconic art investment has become a reality with the help of well-established stock exchange infrastructure service providers such as MACD. We look forward to a long term collaboration.' Welcome to the MACD Community: Sygnum Bank AGMACD now offers trading in cryptocurrencies and a variety of other digital assets in cooperation with Sygnum Bank AG. In addition to InCore Bank AG, Sygnum Bank AG is the second digital assets broker that we have the pleasure of welcoming to the MACD community. Through the joint solution, we enable all MACD customers to automate trading and custody of digital assets via existing interfaces to their core banking systems. Fritz Jost, Member of the Group Executive Board and Chief B2B Officer:'More than 15 banks have already chosen Sygnum as a partner for their digital asset journey. Activation of 24/7 trading and custody via their existing order management system with a regulated market leader is a compelling value proposition. This fast time-to-market enables partner banks to access new revenue streams, increase their AuM with digital assets and expand the offering selectively over time thanks to Sygnum’s modular offering.' MACD Golf Event![]() We organise our small golf tournament exclusively for members of the MACD community. This year we visit the Golfpark Otelfingen in the beautiful Furttal: Golfpark Otelfingen Players of all levels are welcome. Beginners can take part in the golf beginner course.
