Unfortunately it appears that AriseBank it's a scam. They copied their website with the BitPay website and announced partnership with banks that are not true :/. They are posts about it, you can check it out.
I'm heavy on BTS and see a very bright future. I hope you are right regarding the prediction :)
Arisebank doesn't have direct partnerships with Bitshares as of the moment although there are talks going on. It wouldn't have any big impact to bitshares. Bitshares is a community driven platform as long as the community doesn't vote in the partnership it will never happen. Let's all wait for the council's report about this.
Yes indeed I just read that after posting regarding Bitshares and its way to accept partnership.
AriseBank pretended to be already working with BTS but it was false though
Thank you for the highlight
