Where it started: Trust and Money

But, it’s my money!

could send money to Alice, without having to trust a

bank with my money.

Where it started: Trust and MoneyThis was Bitcoin’s aim:

● Peer-to-peer (person to person)● transactions between users● without intermediaries

Page 20: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Easy to do:

● Each bank keeps their own database of all accounts of their clients.

● When John sends money to Mary and they use the same bank, just deduct amount from John’s and add to Mary’s.

Centralised Digital Money

Easy to do:

● Each bank keeps their own database of all accounts of their clients.

● When John sends money to Mary and they use the same bank, just deduct amount from John’s and add to Mary’s.

● When Dave sends money to Lucy, who uses a different bank, actually transfer funds to other bank (or keep IOUs).

Not easy to do:

● No central authority.● Every node, needs to have the complete

list of balances of all accounts.● When a transaction takes place, we have

to update the balances on every node.● How can we make sure this happens?

Decentralised Digital Money

Page 24: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Every node, has all data and transactions recorded in the blockchain:

● In fact, it is a ledger: a list of transactions;● One can only append transactions to it;● Transactions that have been recorded can

never be changed (immutability).

How can I use Bitcoin (or any other blockchain)?Install a Bitcoin full node (a piece of freely available software) on your computer.

● The ‘full node’ will have the whole list of transactions

● You can then send money in a trusted manner by adding the transaction to your node

Page 32: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

How can I use Bitcoin (or any other blockchain)?Or: Communicate with a trusted Bitcoin node, e.g. by using a wallet or exchange

Note: you are trusting the wallet/exchange to perform the transaction

Page 33: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Does everyone see my Bitcoin?Every ‘node’ or computer in the blockchain, can see all transactions and data

Does everyone see how much Bitcoin you own?> Yes and No;

Yes: all accounts, all balances, and all transactions are available for all to seeNo: Bitcoin only lists your account address (no name associated with account)

Key point: all data is available for all on the blockchain to see

Bitcoin is a public blockchain: anyone can download, and be part of the system

So, what about confidential information?

Page 34: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Permissioned...Some systems require more confidentiality; Not all data should be public

Permissioned/private Blockchains can limit who gets access to the Blockchain (and data)

● A Regulated Market

● An MTF

● (also OTF: bonds, structured products, emission allowances or derivatives).

Page 84: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Regulated Markets

● Have (Regulated) Members○ Can be proprietary or agency

● Key provisions in primary market delivery○ No direct access unless a member

Legacy exchanges e.g. London SE or Malta SE are regulated markets.

Page 85: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

MultiLateral Trading Facilities (MTFs )

Still regulated but more flexible:

● Can have direct access (aka not via regulated members)

● NOT primary listing venues for large cap stocks

● Can list SMEs, Bonds etc

Page 86: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Other Types of Trading ‘Platforms’

● Systematic Internalizers

● Broker-Dealer Platforms

● InterDealer Brokers

● “Dark Pools”

● Crowdfunding Platforms

Page 87: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Key Point:

● Anything which is generally recognised as an exchange whether a “regulated market” or an “MTF” must be an open, level playing field which does not discriminate amongst those who are entitled to be part of the market.

Page 88: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Key Point:

● AKA SI’s, Broker Dealers etc can havea more ‘caveat emptor’ approach!

EXCHANGES Operate Non DiscriminatoryOrder Matching Facilities

Key Point (2):

● NB Traditionally ‘exchanges’ are Centralised

● OTC / forex etc - ‘essentially not”

Dodd Frank / EMIR et al

NB After the collapse of 2008, OTC markets in interest rate derivatives came under regulatory pressure to be traded on platforms / exchanges.

Page 91: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Dodd Frank / EMIR et al

● Resulted in Dodd Frank (US) EMIR / MIFID II etc.

● New platforms e.g. SEF (US) OTF (EU)

● Hence e.g. bond platform growth…(anyway a natural aspect of electronification?)

However, (reminber):

In reality a lot of businesses can be called exchanges but they may not adhere to the

core principles of being unbiased marketplaces.

Page 97: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

However:

...Again: “exchange” a different word to legislate (from telephony across many

sectors…).

Regulating Crypto Marketplaces

● The phrase “Exchange” is used in the cryptocurrency / token / DLT space to cover a variety of models…

● ...& frankly a multitude of ‘sins!’

Page 99: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Definitions (Malta law):● "DLT exchange" means any trading and, or

exchange platform or facility, whether in Malta or in another jurisdiction, on which any form of DLT asset may be transacted in accordance with the rules of the platform or facility.”

Page 100: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Definitions (2):● "VFA exchange" means a DLT exchange

operating in or from within Malta, on which only virtual financial assets may be transacted in accordance with the rules of the platform or facility, which is licensed by the competent authority under this Act to provide such services;

Page 101: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Definitions (3):

● "VFA exchange operator" means a person or persons who manages and, or operates the business of a VFA exchange and may be the VFA exchange itself;

Page 102: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Definitions (4):

● "virtual financial asset" or "VFA" means any form of digital medium recordation that is used as a digital medium of exchange, unit of account, or store of value and that is not -

Page 103: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

(a) electronic money;(b) a financial instrument; or(c) a virtual token;

Page 104: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Definitions (6):● "virtual token" means a form of digital

medium recordation whose utility, value or application is restricted solely to the acquisition of goods or services, either solely within the DLT platform on or in relation to which it was issued or within a limited network of DLT platforms:

Page 105: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Definitions (7):● Provided that the term ''DLT platform''

referred to in this definition shall exclude DLT exchanges:

● Provided further that a virtual token which is or may be converted into another DLT asset type shall be treated as the DLT asset type into which it is or may be converted;

Page 106: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Definition Note● “Therefore, exchanges on which only

financial instruments are traded, shall not be licensable in terms of the VFA Act but will fall within the remit of the Investment Services Act.” - Mamo TCV

Page 107: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Purpose of Financial Instrument Test:

to determine classification of a DLT asset as either:● [i] Electronic Money

○ (3rd Schedule to the Financial Institutions Act);● [ii] a Financial Instrument

○ (2nd Schedule to the Investment Services Act;● [iii] a Virtual Financial Asset (VFA Act); or● [iv] a Virtual Token (VFA act)

Page 108: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

...Token Types

● Token types / categorisation will be dealt with fully in a later lecture.

● For today I merely want to introduce the basic concept that there are ‘utility’ tokens and other (‘investment’) tokens.

Page 109: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Therefore Key Point (for Today)

● “Utility” tokens are not financial instruments

● ANY financial instruments come under the ESMA (MIFID) regime and thus require full investment licensing.

Page 110: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Key Point (for Today) (2)

● Any Maltese “Utility” tokens which pay for a listing on any exchange will be regarded as an investment token, even if they otherwise would be categorised as utility tokens.

“VFA” Exchange Listing Problems

● Fraud / Misrepresentation● “Pump & Dump”

○ Hence need for White Papers, oversight etc.

“VFA” Exchange Problems

Potential (legacy) VFA/DLT/Crypto exchange problems for clear regulation include:

● Lack of Independent price formation○ (market makers tied to platform)○ Liquidity management pools…○ Front running risk as a result...

● ‘Fake’ Volumes (70% wash?)

Page 115: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Likely Impact of Regulation

● Reduction in front running & other actions pertaining to non-independent markets.

● More orderly, balanced markets are paramount for new markets to succeed.

● Some ‘exchanges’ will likely exit the business or restructure as broker dealers.

Page 116: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Key Factors To Consider

● Broker intervention

● Dealer intervention

Core Exchange Revenue Streams

● Listing Fees● Transaction Fees● Data Sales

○ Historical etc.● Membership / Access Fees

○ Co location● Clearing & Settlement

NB:

Exchanges are rarely identical.

● QV Department stores...

● Anna Karenina syndrome?○ “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is

unhappy in its own way”

Centralization Vs Decentralization● Issues with decentralized exchanges are

moot:1) Malta law essentially enables Near DLT

2) because: ESMA

Page 121: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Decentralization (DEX)A trendy current topic but:

● Pure Decentraliation hard to regulate○ Hence Augur!

1) Malta law essentially enables “Near DLT”

2) because: ESMA

Page 122: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Decentralization (DEX)● Often No funds under custody ● on-chain transactions for order fulfillment

and rule enforcement.● Server operators collect no matching fee.● Orders placed on the exchange can be

internally regulated via rules enforced by the clients & server.

Page 123: Principle of Revolution Market Capital Chairman Blockchain Malta …ifsp.org.mt/.../08/Blockchain-_-DLT-_-Crypto-_-Exchanges.pdf · 2018. 8. 30. · Former exchange CEO - SIBEX Former

Decentralization (DEX)

● Therefore pure decentralization appears difficult to regulate…

a. Issue of ‘control’b. Issue of Responsibilityc. Issues of “busting’ trades / error process.

Clearing & Settlement

● Clearing - the management of risk post trade but pre settlement

● Settlement - completing the trade itself.● Delivery: particularly where there is e.g. a

physical commodity to be handed over...

CCP Clearing

● Derivatives are generally held in a clearing house before their contracts expire.

● A clearing house matches every buyer to every seller - reducing risk for counterparties.

● Using clearing margin enables leverage.

The Future Of Clearing & Settlement

● DLT / Crypto enables real-time clearing & settlement

● Possible new derivatives clearing models● & new “CSD” models (even a decentralised

securities depositary?)

The Future Of Clearing

However the importance of CCPs / CSDs means regulators may struggle to endorse decentralization & / or concentration risks on less capitalised networks...

Conclusion

● Alt currencies are powering the “Capital Market Revolution!”

● Likewise DLT is powering the CMR in clearing & settlement

● Regulation will impact moves towards a lot of financial decentralization

Conclusion

● At the same time, <<plus ca change…>>● AML / KYC / DD all as vital as ever...● For VFAs understanding exchanges will

involve keeping ahead of developments & being able to discern an emergent sector of ‘blue riband’ exchanges through more dubious actors...

Conclusion

● In due course, exchanges will fail...● ...Leaving risks to Investors (qv Mt Gox) ● Again VFAs will need to remain diligent to

avoid a plethora of potential risks / issues to outright scams.
