Liquidity pools or pools of tokens or pools of assets are nothing but a decentralized smart contract that locks up the crypto tokens or crypto assets. This lock-up of assets is done to facilitate the crypto trading by providing greater liquidity.
Preparing and executing a portfolio sales transaction of distressed assets could be an appropriate exit strategy for bad banks or asset resolution companies. Shared challenges and possible solutions of structuring such transactions during the Consumer Debt Sale Conference in November 2015 in Berlin.

Transition matrices and PD’s term structure - Anna CornagliaLászló Árvai
A transition matrix is a square matrix describing the probabilities of moving from one state to another in a dynamic system. In each row there are the probabilities of moving, from the state represented by that row, to the other states. Thus each row of a transition matrix adds to one.

Resume
• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.
• At the April monetary policy meeting, the NBU again reduced the key policy rate from 14.5% to 13.5% per annum.
• Over the past four weeks, the hryvnia exchange rate has stabilized in the UAH 39-40 per USD range.

Empowering the Unbanked: The Vital Role of NBFCs in Promoting Financial Inclu...Vighnesh Shashtri
In India, financial inclusion remains a critical challenge, with a significant portion of the population still unbanked. Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) have emerged as key players in bridging this gap by providing financial services to those often overlooked by traditional banking institutions. This article delves into how NBFCs are fostering financial inclusion and empowering the unbanked.
what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.

Risk Management in the Field of CCPs
1. Risk Management in the Field of CCPs
Post Trade Forum – Vienna – 10-11 September 2015
By Giuseppe Insalaco, Markets Policy Division, Market Infrastructure Unit, Central Bank of Ireland
2. Table of contents

or instead to cause it?

vs capital efficiency
• Diversity killed by regulation?
• CCP default scenario: recovery
vs resolution

The Customary Disclaimer
1. This is not investment advice,
or regulatory guidance
2. This is not “The BANK”, just
me
3. Don’t do as I say, don’t listen
to me anyway
3. Are CCPs the cure or the problem?
• CCPs are designed to solve a
problem, not all problems;
• The technology used by CCPs
has limitations, and (minor)
side-effects;
• As CCPs usage grows, minor
side-effects become large; very
large;
• We are working to mitigate the
side-effects.

4. Horses for Courses
The Problem:
• Bilateral counterparty credit risk:
– Trading with “strangers”
– Offsetting/netting across different
counterparties
The Solution:
• Riskless principal creditworthy
middleman
The Technology:
• Poker Rules:
– Settle losses after each round, in cash
– Pre-funding of all bets
4
CCP Risk Management Program:
1) Value all positions
2) Collect all profits in cash
3) If failed collections > 0 then:
A. Identify defaulter
B. Appropriate defaulter “pre-paid losses
fund”
C. Liquidate all defaulter's positions
D. Cover all execution shortfalls using
defaulters “pre-paid losses fund”
E. Terminate defaulter
4) Pay out all losses in cash
5) Goto 1
6. Side-effects of Cashification
VM exchanged in
cash
IM is cash-like
instruments
CCP has vast inventory of highly
liquid IM deployable instantly
DCF also highly liquid and quickly
deployable
Cash is the solution….
… but it’s not problem-free
6
Liquidity as proxy for solvency:
– Dependency on liquid markets
and functioning repo facilities
– Problem of reinvestment
– Dependency on collateral quality
– Contagion channel to all asset
classes
7. Security vs Capital Efficiency
7
Capital to address liquidity:
The CCP risk management is highly
time-sensitive and very rigid (automatic).
• Capital buffers in cash
• CCP skin in the game
• GCM capital guarantee to clients
• Spare capacity (haircuts & add-ons)
• Ban on re-use or re-hypothecation
Cash, in liquid form, is unproductive
capital …
NB: this is a deliberate design feature
(superseniority)
8. Diversity Killed by Regulation?
8
• CCPs are not islands, they are
nodes in a complex web
• Multi-functionality of Banks:
GCMs, liquidity providers, clients
• Cleared + OTC business + collateral
Same standards, same triggers,
same parameters… clones.
9. Cost of Creditworthiness: the Waterfall
9
Defaulter
Pays Endogenous
mutualisation HIC SUNT LEONES
• The transition point between
phases is arbitrary
• Social trade-off between
regimes (members vs clients)
• The issue of for-profit CCPs
• The cost of “punishing” moral
hazard
EMIR operating zone
10. CCP Default
10
The Land beyond EMIR:
CCP killers:
• Multiple GCM default
• Loss on investment (collateral downgrade)
• Loss of clients
Where is the money?
• Surviving GCM capital
• Client IM
• Taxpayer
What happens next?
• Recapitalise & keep it going
• Disentangle & distribute bilaterally
• Tear-up
Price of competition is failure: not if…
when.
Cannot build unsinkable ships
Remember: all money is gone
11. Conclusions
• CCPs are designed to solve a
problem, not all problems;
• The technology used by CCPs
has limitations, and (minor)
side-effects;
• As CCPs usage grows, minor
side effects become large; very
large;
• We are working to fix the
