This is the updated factsheet for the Trakx Bitcoin Control15 CTI. Trakx.io offers investment products that tracks digital assets. Trakx Bitcoin Control15 gets an exposure to the Bitcoin with a volatility control mechanism, in order to maintain the
volatility around 15%.
A security token offering (STO) is a new trend in the cryptocurrency market that is gaining its stronghold because of regulations that value the external liquidized assets for which it is created. The intervention of regulations creates a sense of trust among the investors who need profits from the project that they have invested in.

Distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) are poised to become a transformative feature of financial markets, both in financial products and in the underlying market infrastructure itself. This presentation shows the main findings from a report that analyses the impact that wide-spread adoption of tokenisation could have and discusses emerging opportunities and risks of the application of DLTs for financial markets and their participants, illustrated with case studies in OECD and non-OECD economies.

This instrument uses a quantitative algorithm which finds an optimal basket with the lowest (1 year) correlation to the standard 6040 portfolio composed of 60% ETF equities and 40% ETF bonds.

The Empire strikes back. As the first wave of robo-advisers retreats, their technology innovation is used against them. They continue to be sold or morph into white-labeled B2B platforms. Retail giants such as Vanguard, Schwab and Fidelity use their scale to hoover up the low-end of the advisory market. Meanwhile, traditional wealth managers, such as Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch and UBS, continue to move up-market, adopting robo technologies and evolving into cyborg-advisors. DOL's fiduciary ruling catalyzes a new era for wealth managers as their product-pushing brokers soon become extinct. Digital financial planning becomes fully integrated into a technology-rich private banking model covering assets and liabilities.

How crypto tokens qualify under swiss law a comprehensive frameworkRonald Kogens
HOW CRYPTO-TOKENS QUALIFY UNDER SWISS LAW: A COMPREHENSIVE FRAMEWORK
Blockchain technology has become a reality as part of the digitalisationof the economy. Every day, there is proof of disruptive transformations of long-standing mechanisms into new ecosystems on the blockchain. While existing market participants are in many cases overwhelmed by the new normal, the new players operate with the greatest creativity and efficiency.
There are no limits to the new ecosystems. The blockchainoffers countless possibilities of disintermediation, of participating in and transferring assets, of recordkeeping and of creating e-commerce beyond the boundaries of national currencies. And we are only at the beginning of this transformation.
Tokens created on the blockchaincan be used to represent a wide variety of instruments and processes. For example, a new means of payment can be created or indirect rights to shares, loans or access rights can be digitised. The legal qualification of the tokens is a major challenge due to the aforementioned diversity.
The important (and not so new) principle for finding your way around in this new digital environment is: “first analyse the context, then undertake the legal classification under the rules of the existing laws.” The hybrid nature of many tokens will defy the clear categories within which the law is typically structured and any attempt to commence by looking at traditional legal instruments and impose them on the tokens of the new ecosystems will therefore fail. Instead each token has to be taken apart and its components must be qualified individually.
In order to bring the tokens of the new ecosystems closer to the public, FRORIEP's Disruptive Technologies Practice Group has developed a Token Framework. In doing so, a distinction is made between cryptocurrencies, tokens giving title to monetary claims and tokens for other purposes. Tokens giving title to monetary claims are further categorisedas being either debt, equity or participation rights tokens. These subcategories stem from the financial treatment of the obligations on the balance sheet or (in the case of participation rights tokens) on the profit & loss statement of the issuer.
The following diagrams show the possible functions of tokens on the blockchainand the FRORIEP Token Framework.

Vehicle to-grid Market PPT 2021-26 | Enhancing Huge Growth and Latest Trends ...IMARC Group
According to the latest report by IMARC Group,the global vehicle-to-grid market grew at a CAGR of around 15% during 2015-2020.
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is an advanced technology that enables an electric vehicle (EV) to be charged or discharged by drawing electric power through parked electric automobiles.
Cryptocurrencies are a recent phenomenon that has opened up immense opportunities in all fields of society and life. The reality, however, is that with this digital innovation has come increased scrutiny and concern from both legislators and regulators. Legislators and regulators are now faced with the difficult task of straddling a fine line between ensuring the stability of the global financial system and protecting the interests of investors while avoiding stifling technological innovation.
