[1/2] The logo of Barclays bank is seen on glass lamps outside of a branch of the bank in the City of London financial district in London September 4, 2017. The SEC central clearing rule, first proposed in September last year, would apply to the cash Treasury and repurchase agreements (repo) markets, where banks and other players such as hedge funds borrow short-term loans backed by Treasuries. "This creates a potential single-point of failure risk as recent events illustrate," he said, referring to the ICBC hack. Abate also flagged cybersecurity risks for direct members of the FICC, as well as clients they sponsor to access the clearing platform, saying mandatory central clearing could make FICC "a fortress with many doors." The SEC is expected to finalize the rule early next year, said Barclays, but it is unclear how much time the industry would have to implement it and whether central clearing will occur simultaneously for Treasuries and repo transactions.

When 2023 began, a single bitcoin could be had for less than $17,000 after losing more than 75% of its value. Now, bitcoin is getting another boost on the prospects of creating a much larger pool of investors. IShares Bitcoin Trust appeared to be temporarily removed Tuesday, but was back online as of Wednesday. Still, the most recent surge bitcoin goes beyond single developments or participants, Kaiko research analyst Riyad Carey notes — crediting “more of a broad market rally" around spot bitcoin ETF prospects. Despite the recent excitement around bitcoin, crypto is still a risky bet.

Bitcoin leaps to 2023 high on ETF bets
  + stars: | 2023-10-24 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Bitcoin rose more than 6% to $35,198, its highest since May 2022. It had surged 10% on Monday in its best session for almost a year and its price has doubled in 2023. Crypto-linked shares such as Coinbase Global (COIN.O) or bitcoin owner MicroStrategy (MSTR.O) rose in after-hours trade. An exchange-traded fund (ETF) owning bitcoin on behalf of fund investors is seen as a driver of demand because it would allow anyone reluctant to trade crypto markets a means of buying exposure to bitcoin through the stockmarket. So the ETF would make a large audience and increase liquidity," said Steen Jakobsen, CIO at Saxo.

Speculation that BlackRock or a number of other pending bitcoin ETF applicants would succeed has sent bitcoin on its biggest two-day rally for seven months. The clearing house said the list was its eligibility file, which includes active and potential ETFs and that Blackrock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF was added in August as "standard practice...in preparation for the launch of a new ETF". Bitcoin touched an 18-month high of $35,198 on Tuesday and was last at $33,802 in Asia trade on Wednesday.

Bitcoin is surging again
  + stars: | 2023-10-24 | by ( David Goldman | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
BlackRock applied in June to register a bitcoin spot ETF, which is pending approval. A BlackRock bitcoin ETF would give the cryptocurrency a new sense of legitimacy. “However, it may appear as part of BlackRock’s preparations to launch the ETF soon.”Other companies have also applied for approval to launch similar bitcoin ETFs, including Greyscale Investments. As investors look to diversify their portfolios in uncertain times, some turn to bitcoin, ironically as a kind of digital safe haven. Sometimes dubbed “digital gold,” bitcoin has become a way for investors to branch out beyond traditional stocks and bonds.

Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, hit an 18-month high on Tuesday, extending Monday's 10% surge, on speculation over the likely approval of a spot bitcoin ETF that was fueled by BlackRock's iShares ETF listing on the website of clearing house DTCC. Meanwhile, other bitcoin-linked ETFs, like the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF that tracks bitcoin futures, and Valkyrie Bitcoin Miners ETF (WGMI.O), gained more than 9% each. The Valkyrie Bitcoin and Ether Strategy ETF (BTF.O) was up 9.4%, leading gains among recently launched funds that track Ether futures.

CDS panel asked whether payment failure occurred for Casino
  + stars: | 2023-06-02 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
June 2 (Reuters) - An investor has asked a panel that rules on credit default swaps (CDS) whether a "failure to pay" credit event has occurred for French retailer Casino (CASP.PA), which could trigger a payout on the derivatives used to insure against default. A CDDC meeting on that question, which could also lead to a payout on CDS, is scheduled for later on Friday. A number of circumstances can constitute a credit event that can trigger a payout on CDS, which insure against losses from exposure to corporate or sovereign debt. There were $428 million of net notional Casino CDS outstanding as of May 19, according to DTCC data. Credit rating agency Moody's said on Wednesday it had downgraded Casino to "CAA3" with a negative outlook which reflected "very high probability of default".

UK regulator makes 'final call' to switch off Libor
  + stars: | 2023-05-31 | by ( Huw Jones | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor) reflected the cost of lending between banks, using quotes from panels of banks in 35 variants across five currencies. "This is the last remaining Libor panel and its end marks another critical milestone in the transition away from LIBOR," the FCA said in its "final messages" on the rate. "Firms must continue to actively transition contracts that reference Libor to appropriate, robust reference rates, and we continue to expect firms to deliver demonstrable progress," the FCA said. Market participants were given permission to continue using dollar Libor in new contracts on a limited basis, but the FCA said on Wednesday this would end on July 1. The 1, 3 and 6-month dollar Libor rates only will be published in a "synthetic form" for legacy contracts from July 3 to end-September 2024.

CDS panel says Credit Suisse bankruptcy event has not occurred
  + stars: | 2023-05-22 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
May 22 (Reuters) - A derivatives committee ruled on Monday that a bankruptcy credit event had not occurred in relation to Credit Suisse, quashing investors' efforts to trigger a payout on credit insurance linked to the Swiss lender. "The DC determined that a Bankruptcy Credit Event had not occurred," the EMEA Credit Derivatives Determination Committee (CDDC) said in a statement on its website. The DC reviewed the public information submitted with the question and decided that such information did not confirm that a Credit Event had occurred, the committee said. Investors tried last week to secure a payout on the credit default swaps (CDS) linked to Credit Suisse debt by seeking a ruling on whether a so-called government intervention credit event had occurred. The amount of gross notional outstanding CDS linked to Credit Suisse bonds stood at more than $19 billion in March, according to Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation data.
Credit default swaps (CDS) are derivatives that offer insurance against the risk of a bond issuer - such as a bank - not paying their creditors. European Union markets watchdog ESMA said on Thursday that it, together national regulators, had been "looking into the recent market movements, including in the CDS market". Clearing of individual bank or company CDS is also available at LCH’s CDSClear and ICE Clear Credit. Overall, the credit derivatives market is also far smaller than it was before the 2008 crisis. "The credit derivatives market continues to play a critical role, particularly during times of volatility," Malia said.
LONDON, March 28 (Reuters) - Turbulence in Europe's banks following the implosion of 167-year-old Credit Suisse (CSGN.S) and runs on regional banks in the U.S. has focused attention on the role played by credit default swaps in all the turmoil. The moves followed a surge in the cost of insuring Deutsche Bank's debt against default via credit default swaps (CDS) to a more than four-year high last week. Credit default swaps are derivatives that offer insurance against the risk of a bond issuer - such as a company, a bank or a sovereign government - not paying their creditors. The CDS market is worth around $3.8 trillion, according to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association. The CDS market is small relative to equities, foreign exchange or the global bond markets, where there are more than $120 trillion bonds outstanding.
Markets body urges caution on shorter settlement in Europe
  + stars: | 2022-09-20 | by ( Huw Jones | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
LONDON, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Halving settlement time for stock trades in Europe to one business day would be "challenging" and needs full analysis by regulators before any decision is taken, a markets industry body said on Wednesday. "A move to T+1 would remove the only business day between trading and settlement, creating significant pressure on post-trade operations, particularly for global participants," the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) said in a discussion paper. Authorities in Britain and the European Union, mindful of keeping their capital markets globally competitive, have already held informal discussions with industry on T+1. "An important area for further discussion will be whether or not a synchronised implementation timeline is required across Europe more broadly," AFME said. U.S. settlement house DTCC is piloting T+0 settlement.
