DLT solutions are revolutionizing capital markets by providing greater efficiency, transparency, and innovation. Core Reason: DLT enables the creation of a single, shared, and synchronized source of truth for all participants, reducing the need for reconciliation between different parties. Automation of processes through smart contracts can lead to faster settlement times, reducing operational delays and costs. Smart Contracts are automated protocols intended for exchanging digital currencies, which are executed upon meeting specific predetermined conditions. Smart Contracts are self-executing contracts used to exchange crypto assets when certain conditions are met. Properties of Smart Contracts: Distribution: Assets cannot be released from the contract without validation from the entire network. Immutability: Once created, the contract cannot be altered Decentralization: No need for a 3rd party to hold the funds, lowering costs Accuracy: Automation prevents human errors Low transaction costs: Costs minimized by automation Instantaneous settlement: Trades settled within seconds rather than days No counterparty risk: Contract only executed when pre-set conditions are met Image source: Cambridge Centre for alternative finance #islamicfintech islamicfinance #islamicbanking #dlt #smartcontracts #capitalmarkets #sukuk #securities #web3 #settlement

On 8 November 2023, the European Banking Authority (EBA) launched its consultation on draft rules for liquidity and capital requirements for stablecoin issuers under the EU’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation. These consultations are part of the third set of MiCA policy products for which stakeholder feedback is solicited to refine the regulatory landscape. What do the proposed rules entail? 💧RTS on Liquidity Requirements of the Reserve of Assets: The EBA proposes setting minimum liquidity rates for asset reserves, ensuring availability within 1 to 5 working days, along with criteria for creditworthiness, concentration limits on deposits with credit institutions, and over-collateralization for asset referenced tokens. 💰 RTS on Highly Liquid Financial Instruments in the Reserve of Assets: The EBA proposes criteria for financial instruments to be deemed highly liquid, with minimal market, credit, and concentration risks. 📊 RTS on Liquidity Management Policies and Procedures: The EBA proposes liquidity management policies and procedures to ensure issuers establish robust policies and procedures to assess, manage, and monitor liquidity risks. The standards would mandate a resilient liquidity profile for reserve assets to fulfill any redemption demands for asset-referenced tokens. 📈 Guidelines on Liquidity Stress Testing: The EBA proposes a methodology for identifying the common reference parameters of the stress test scenarios to be included in the liquidity stress testing and situations in which the supervisor may strengthen the liquidity requirements of the relevant issuer to cover those risks based on the outcome of the liquidity stress testing. The press release containing links to the consultation papers, as well as instructions for submitting comments and registering for the public hearing, is linked in the first comment. ‼️The deadline for submitting feedback is 8 February 2024, with a public hearing set for 30 January 2024 (registration due by 23 January 2024). #MiCA #cryptoregulation #cryptocurrency #EU #compliance #crypto #europeanunion #aml #cryptocompliance #cryptotravelrule #digitalassetcompliance #VASP #stablecoins #EBA #CryptoAssets #RegulatoryDetails #LiquidityManagement #FinancialServices #DigitalAssets #TokenIssuers #StressTesting #EURegulations #Compliance #Finance #Banking #Fintech #Blockchain

Seek clarity on regulations for crypto services. Assess whether it is necessary to register under FICA and register as a financial services provider. South African regulators regard #crypto as a financial asset under the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services (FAIS) Act. The FAIS Act requires individuals providing a financial service to hold a financial services provider (FSP) Licence and crypto asset service providers are also under the same obligation.
