Interviews/Panels

Binance Blockchain Week

At Binance Blockchain Week Istanbul 2023, PinoyWeb3TV interviewed Bordallo about Zignaly's development and its objectives within the blockchain ecosystem. Bordallo explained that Zignaly had worked with Binance as one of its early brokers for four years, making the event an opportunity to reconnect with members of the BNB Chain ecosystem. He described the company's goal as using blockchain technology to make new profit opportunities more accessible worldwide by connecting users with established traders whose performance records could help them participate in trading strategies. He also distinguished Zignaly from conventional copy-trading platforms, explaining that issues such as slippage, latency, and technical limitations can cause differences between the results achieved by traders and their followers. He stated that Zignaly's system addresses these discrepancies by ensuring that the first trader and subsequent followers receive identical results, even across groups of up to 200,000 users. When discussing the future of money, Bordallo suggested that cash and traditional fiat currency would become less prominent, with financial systems increasingly relying on both centralized digital money issued by banks and governments and decentralized alternatives that are not controlled by a single entity and are accessible to everyone. ^[3]
