The objective, per the announcement, is to deliver an inclusive financial ecosystem, with web3 technology at the heart of this system.

“This transformation represents more than just a name change; it’s a decisive step forward in our mission to deliver open, accessible financial access for everyone,” said Yves La Rose, founder and chief executive officer of Vaulta Foundation.

“Vaulta is the product of years of planning, strategic development, and thoughtful design, culminating in a holistic Web3 banking approach. Web3 has the potential to reshape global finance and Vaulta is at the forefront of this evolution,” he added.

Vaulta will have a banking advisory council

As part of the rebrand, EOS will launch a Vaulta Banking Advisory Council. This group of  banking and web3 experts will offer expertise on various aspects of Vaulta, including the bridging of traditional finance and decentralized finance.

The group will also help the project achieve and adhere to global compliance standards as well as find key real-world opportunities for project pilots.

Initial members of the banking advisory council reportedly include Lawrence Truong, chief executive officer of Systemic Trust, Didier Lavalle, CEO of Tetra, Alexander Nelson, senior director of digital finance at ATB Financial, and Jonathan Rizzo, senior business solution specialist at ATB Financial.

“Vaulta’s strategic realignment towards web3 banking is a significant development for the banking industry. Their robust infrastructure has the potential to connect traditional banking with the benefits of blockchain technology,” Nelson noted.”This move not only opens the door for traditional funds to enter DeFi through Bitcoin but also paves the way for greater institutional acceptance.”

The news saw a slight flip upward in the price of EOS token, which rose from $0.48 to highs of $0.51.
