Private Equity 2023: Cayman Islands
16 Oct 2023  |  www.mondaq.com  |  English  |  Fund Structuring
The Cayman Islands experienced robust private equity activity in 2022 despite market uncertainties, with sustained interest in Cayman Islands structures for fund formation and transactional activity. The jurisdiction remains attractive due to its legislative and regulatory framework, tax-neutral status, and flexible structuring options. The Private Funds Act has led to over 16,000 investment funds being registered, with most private fund managers regulated by onshore authorities. The Cayman Islands offer a variety of vehicles for investment, with exempted limited partnerships, exempted companies, and limited liability companies being popular choices. The jurisdiction's offerings are well-suited for alternative structures and continue to be in demand for transactional contexts. Regulatory developments and the adaptability of Cayman Islands structures to emerging technologies and practices contribute to its success in the private equity sector.

Can the Bitcoin surge push India to overcome its cryptocurrency hurdles?
18 Mar 2024  |  The National  |  English  |  Investment
The recent surge in Bitcoin prices has led to a significant increase in trading volumes for Indian cryptocurrency platforms like CoinDCX and WazirX. Despite this, heavy taxes imposed by the Indian government have dampened investor interest, with many investors moving to foreign exchanges. The industry sees the high tax rate as recognition of cryptocurrencies as legitimate investments, and there is a call for regulatory clarity. The US SEC's approval of Bitcoin ETFs and the upcoming Bitcoin halving event are contributing to the market's growth. Indian exchanges are eager for a regulatory framework, and there is optimism that India's G20 presidency will lead to better industry regulation.

The SEC approved the trading of spot Bitcoin ETFs, with significant inflows on their initial trading day. Inflation rose unexpectedly, and mixed bank results were reported, with some banks showing robust earnings while others faced revenue dips and job cuts. A study predicts a $1-trillion boost to the U.S. economy from generative AI, but with potential job disruptions. Google's mass layoffs have caused uncertainty, while Microsoft briefly overtook Apple as the world's most valuable company. Tesla cut prices for its EVs in China to enhance competitiveness.

Victims of R2.7bn BHI Trust ponzi scheme in the dark

Investors in the R2.7 billion BHI Trust Ponzi scheme are left in uncertainty about recovering their funds, with key figures like Michael Haldane and directors of Global and Local unresponsive.

Georgia Partners with Ripple for Digital Lari Pilot; SEC Drops Charges Against Executives
07 Nov 2023  |  TheStreet Crypto: Bitcoin and cryptocurrency news, advice, analysis and more  |  English  |  Financial Technology
The National Bank of Georgia has selected Ripple as its technology partner for the pilot project of the digital lari, Georgia's currency. Ripple will provide its central bank digital currency (CBDC) platform for the project after a formal selection process. The partnership aims to integrate blockchain technology and create a digital asset for the Georgian currency. Additionally, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dropped charges against two Ripple executives, although it will continue to pursue claims against the company for alleged Section 5 violations concerning XRP sales. This legal development comes as Ripple focuses more on international operations, and the price of XRP has seen a recent increase.

Crypto Exchanges Surpass $1 Trillion Monthly Trading Amid Spot Bitcoin ETF Optimism
03 Jan 2024  |  zycrypto.com  |  English  |  Finance
Crypto exchanges have recorded over $1 trillion in monthly trading volumes for the first time since September 2022, with Binance leading at 39.3% of the total. The surge is linked to optimism about the potential approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. Analysts from The Block Research and K33 Research comment on the unusual activity and market expectations, while Cryptoquant warns of a possible 'sell-the-news' scenario. Predictions from Polymarket show an 89% chance of ETF approval before January 15th, and Bloomberg's Eric Balchunas discusses the SEC's possible actions.

Are the SEC’s Private Fund Advisers Rules Now Dead? No, but they are on Life Support
05 Jun 2024  |  www.jdsupra.com  |  English  |  Legal Rulings
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has vacated the SEC's Private Fund Advisers Rules, ruling that the SEC exceeded its authority under the Administrative Procedures Act. The court found that the SEC's interpretation of its regulatory powers under Sections 211(h) and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act was incorrect, particularly in relation to private funds and sophisticated investors. The SEC now faces several options, including appealing the decision or drafting new rules. Despite the ruling, some institutional investors may still seek terms aligned with the vacated rules, and the SEC may continue to push for transparency in private fund operations. Additionally, similar regulatory objectives might be adopted by non-U.S. regulators, impacting U.S. private funds operating internationally.

SEC Disbands ESG Task Force Amidst Setbacks And Growing Corporate Priorities
23 Sept 2024  |  www.zenger.news  |  English  |  Regulatory Compliance
The SEC has disbanded its ESG task force, initially established to address misleading ESG claims, amidst setbacks and shifting corporate priorities. Despite initial enthusiasm, the ESG movement is facing challenges, with companies prioritizing inflation, AI, and geopolitical issues over sustainability. Missouri's Secretary of State is appealing a federal court decision invalidating anti-ESG rules. A Bain & Co. survey indicates a decline in corporate focus on ESG, while a book review by the American Institute for Economic Reform critiques ESG practices, advocating for businesses to oppose political and ideological neutrality. The text highlights the evolving landscape of corporate governance and regulatory compliance.

Bitnomial Exchange Sues SEC, Challenging Agency's Authority Over XRP Futures
10 Oct 2024  |  www.mondaq.com  |  English  |  XRP Futures
Bitnomial Exchange has filed a lawsuit against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) challenging its authority over XRP futures contracts. The exchange argues that XRP futures should be regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as a commodity derivative, not as a security future under the SEC's jurisdiction. The lawsuit seeks declaratory and injunctive relief to prevent the SEC from asserting jurisdiction over XRP futures. This legal battle highlights the ongoing regulatory challenges in the cryptocurrency space, particularly concerning the classification of digital assets and related financial products.

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce discusses the complexities of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) regulations, emphasizing a free market approach to solving societal issues. She critiques the ambiguity and political nature of ESG, advocating for principles-based disclosures rather than prescriptive regulations. Peirce also addresses the implications of the Supreme Court's decision on the Chevron Doctrine, which affects agency authority, and highlights the challenges of financial innovation in crypto compared to ESG. The conversation touches on the SEC's role in global regulatory convergence and the importance of maintaining a dynamic market economy without over-reliance on standardized frameworks.

The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has increased its regulatory scrutiny on the cryptocurrency sector, targeting exchanges like Huobi and KuCoin for operating without necessary permissions. The FCA's new regulations, effective from Oct. 8, require all crypto platforms to provide explicit risk advisories and adhere to higher technical standards. Non-compliance could result in severe penalties, including website takedowns and imprisonment. Huobi and KuCoin have both stated they do not operate in the U.K., although they offer services in other regions. The article also references past accusations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission against Tron founder Justin Sun for market manipulation.

The greenwashing fix exposed: Two thirds of US firms admit they don't know how much pollution they emit and their public data is just a 'best guess'
06 Oct 2023  |  This is Money  |  English  |  Environmental Impact
A significant number of US firms admit to not knowing the exact amount of pollution they emit, with many relying on 'best guess' estimates, leading to accusations of greenwashing. A survey by Ivalua revealed that 45% of procurement chiefs are unsure about their emissions data, particularly Scope 3 emissions, which include supply chain impacts. High-profile cases of greenwashing, such as Keurig's false recyclability claims and Verra's flawed carbon credit system, highlight the issue. The US SEC is considering requiring companies to disclose Scope 3 emissions, increasing pressure on firms to provide accurate data.

Materials and lithium stocks, such as Pilbara Minerals and Core Lithium, surged, while insurers like QBE, IAG, and Suncorp fell. Genesis Minerals and Viva Energy saw stock increases due to corporate developments, while Orora faced earnings headwinds. The Australian dollar hit a five-month high, and the unemployment rate rose slightly to 3.9%. The Fed's dovish stance has led to expectations of easing monetary policy, influencing market optimism.

China News Outlet Closure Reflects Political Sensitivities Over Beijing, Leadership Says
11 Dec 2023  |  Voice of America  |  English  |  Media Business Models
The China Project, an English-language news website covering a range of topics on China, has shut down after seven years. The site faced accusations of being an agent of Beijing and struggled with financial issues, leading to a loss of investors and advertisers. The closure highlights the challenges of reporting on China amidst a political climate that favors a tough stance against the country. The site's leadership, including editor in chief Jeremy Goldkorn and CEO Bob Guterma, cited political tensions and a whistleblower complaint by former employee Shannon Van Sant as contributing factors to the shutdown. Van Sant alleged the outlet acted as an unregistered agent of the Chinese Community Party, which The China Project denied. The case reflects the broader issue of media outlets navigating the complex relationship between the U.S. and China, with bipartisan policy in the U.S. often opposing Beijing's actions.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved the creation of bitcoin ETFs, with Ark Invest launching its first bitcoin ETF in partnership with 21Shares. Ark Invest President Tom Staudt views bitcoin as a 'public good' and the ETF aims to lower barriers to cryptocurrency investment. The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, along with others, will waive fees initially, offering a low-cost entry point. Tom Lee of Fundstrat Global Advisors predicts bitcoin could reach $150,000 within a year and $500,000 in five years, citing its low correlation with other asset classes and potential for diversification and upside in investment portfolios.

Key Municipal Issues Stalled in Congress
20 Oct 2023  |  www.bondbuyer.com  |  English  |  Government
Congressional gridlock has halted progress on municipal-related legislation due to the House's inability to elect a new Speaker. Key agency reauthorizations and appropriations are pending, with the Farm Bill being considered as a vehicle for advancing the Modernizing Agricultural and Manufacturing Bonds Act (MAMBA). MAMBA aims to update IRS rules for debt financing for manufacturers and farmers, including increasing bond limits and expanding the definition of 'manufacturing.' The Federal Aviation Administration's reauthorization is also due, with infrastructure funding for airports at stake. The Defense Bill is another critical piece of legislation that may include last-minute additions. The Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) rules are under scrutiny, with proposals to lower the required percentage of funding from tax-exempt private activity bonds. The Bond Dealers of America and the Government Finance Officers Association continue to advocate for the revival of advance refunding, which was eliminated in 2017.

Corporations With Cyber Governance Create 4X More Value
28 Mar 2024  |  www.darkreading.com  |  English  |  Shareholder Value
A study by Bitsight and Diligent Institute found that companies with robust cybersecurity governance create nearly four times more shareholder value than those without. The study analyzed over 4,000 companies, revealing that specialized committees with cybersecurity experts are more effective at improving security postures and financial performance. However, the integration of such experts on boards is lacking, with only 5% of surveyed companies and 12% of S&P 500 companies having them. The report emphasizes the importance of integrating cybersecurity expertise into board structures and decision-making processes. Another survey by the Cybersecurity at MIT Sloan Research Consortium highlighted the need for better board member interaction with CISOs to manage cybersecurity risks effectively.

Binance to pay billions in US in money laundering case, CEO resigns
22 Nov 2023  |  bgtvnetwork.com  |  English  |  Corporate Scandal
Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance, pleaded guilty to US money laundering violations and resigned, resulting in the cryptocurrency exchange paying over $4 billion in penalties. The settlement includes a $50 million fine by Zhao and penalties from the Treasury Department's agencies totaling $4.368 billion. Binance admitted to willful failures that facilitated illicit money flows, including transactions supporting terrorists and cybercriminals. The company is also under a five-year monitorship and must report past suspicious transactions. Binance's rapid growth led to inadequate compliance controls, which they are now restructuring, with Richard Teng taking over as CEO. The SEC has separate ongoing charges against Binance.

SRI product environment becoming more challenging and uncertain
20 Nov 2023  |  future.portfolio-adviser.com  |  English  |  ESG
The sustainable and responsible investment (SRI) landscape is facing increased challenges and uncertainties, particularly due to the cost-of-living crisis affecting investor behavior, political debates over sustainability definitions and priorities, and evolving regulatory expectations globally. Despite strong net retail inflows to SRI funds in the UK during 2020 and 2021, these have decreased in 2022 as economic pressures mounted. Investment managers are anticipating contributing to climate solutions at the upcoming COP28 summit, while also navigating debates on energy security and weapon production investments. Regulatory changes are imminent, with the UK preparing for new Sustainable Disclosure Requirements and sustainable investment labels, the EU reviewing its Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, and the US SEC finalizing ESG-related rules. Investment managers remain committed to client outcomes and are working on industry-wide frameworks to define responsible investment approaches and improve communication with savers.
