Is the 2025 Fintech Training Programme taking place at fintech headquarters at Sankofa House (formerly Victoria Hall)?
Congratulations on being spot on! You win the Internet today!
I took all the “fintech” and blockchain courses (free) offered a while ago. Only the course on raising venture capital was worth the time. YouTube has better information.
Those courses were not credited, and you just received a certificate of completion.
Sankofa….a word from Ghana, the birthplace of the Atlantic slave trade, and the country known for its extremely poor human rights abuses.
Typical.
Did the Big Guy mention the tremendous “success” of around 39 digital companies registered with the Bermuda Monetary Authority?

Important Update Regarding Bittrex Global
It is with great regret that we announce that Bittrex Global has decided to wind down its operations. This decision was not made lightly, and we understand the inconvenience it may have on our valued customers.
UPDATED 8 DECEMBER
Effective Monday 4 December 2023, all trading activity on Bittrex Global has been disabled. Customers are now only able to withdraw assets as part of the winding down process.
Important Information for Bittrex Global Bermuda Customers
Why did Bittrex Global Bermuda decide to go into liquidation?
In November 2023, Bittrex Global announced its decision to wind down operations. See full statement here. As part of our commitment to ensuring an orderly wind down, now is the most appropriate time to hand over to third-party provisional liquidators under a court supervised process to oversee the company’s dissolution.
Why does this only apply to Bittrex Global Bermuda and not Bittrex Global Liechtenstein?
Bittrex Global is registered and regulated as separate companies in Bermuda and Liechtenstein. Different legal requirements apply in those two jurisdictions, and so the precise manner in which the wind-down of the companies takes place differs. Completing the wind-down in Bermuda requires handing over to a third-party liquidator who will oversee the wind-down and help ensure that all assets are distributed as quickly and efficiently as possible.
