SPUME.IO
Spume is a community governed holder-owned NFT marketplace that facilitates the non-fungible tokenization of physical and digital assets and removes brokers, banks, and other centralized authorities from unjustifiably taxing the transactions and property of individuals. Our vision with Spume is the complete removal of all intermediaries that prey on individuals during the trading of digital and physical goods. This covers a broad range of markets: everything from artwork to real estate will be tokenizable and tradable on Spume’s marketplace. All revenue generated from Spume’s marketplace is given directly back to SPUME token holders. The marketplace and all decisions on development are now controlled by SPUME token holders with a governance system unlike anything ever seen before.

Although the wealth management industry is in agreement on the importance of digital innovation, few organizations manage to achieve any business value from their transformation initiatives.

A Proposed Financial Intermediary Fund (FIF) for Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response Hosted by the World Bank

whitePaper | May 17, 2022

COVID-19 has highlighted the urgent need for collective action to augment the existing global health security financing system and mobilize additional resources for increased investments in pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response (PPR). Avoiding future pandemics requires investing substantially more in PPR; these investments will help avert the much larger costs that the world would have to incur if we were to be caught unprepared for the next global health crisis. Countries must step up domestic investments in the core capacities needed to prevent and contain future pandemics, in accordance with the International Health Regulations. This must be complemented by enhanced external financing, particularly for developing countries. The joint World Bank-WHO paper on PPR financing needs and gaps1 prpeared for the G20 Joint Finance and Health Task Force (JFHTF) estimated that external financing amounting to an additional $10.5 billion per year, over the next five years, is needed for investments at the country, regional and global level to strengthen the capacity of low-income and middle-income countries. PPR is a global public good. Mobilizing the needed external financing to strengthen PPR in lowand middle-income countries and regions, that are the most fiscally stretched and in need of financial support, is the collective responsibility of the international community.
