Looking for Liquidity

Posted on by

As cryptoassets continue to endure a tough bear market, Profit & Loss hosted an event called OnTheBlock to discuss what impact this has had on liquidity conditions.“Right now, we haven’t seen the wave of institutional money that everybody talked about in 2017,” said Martin Garcia, managing director at Genesis Trading. “The narrative then was very much that this is just the retail sector trading these assets and that when the institutional funds come in, it will grow to yet another scale.”To be clear, Garcia still thinks that institutional-sized money and liquidity will enter the crypto space, but that it will do so at a much slower and steadier pace than many were previously predicting.

Posted on by

Ten financial services and technology firms leading developments in the digital asset and blockchain space have joined together to create the Association for Digital Asset Markets (ADAM) to establish a Code of Conduct for emerging digital asset markets.

US-based ADAM will proactively seek comprehensive standards for digital asset market participants. The group, which includes BitOoda, BTIG, Cumberland, Galaxy Digital, Genesis Global Trading, GSR, Hudson River Trading, Paxos, Symbiont and XBTO, says it will work with current and former regulators to provide rules for the efficient trading, custody, clearing and settlement of digital assets.

Future guidelines will encourage professionalism and ethical conduct by all market participants, increase transparency by providing information to regulators and the public, and deter market manipulation, the group stated.

What Is the Real Value of Bitcoin?

Posted on by

There is one question regarding cryptocurrencies, and Bitcoin in particular, that has continued to baffle many, and has caused some skepticism amongst market commentators, namely what is the fundamental value of these assets?

Bitcoin, still by far the largest cryptocurrency that exists, is not a good store of value because the price of a bitcoin is so volatile. As a result, it functions poorly as a currency, after all, no one wants to buy something worth $100 with bitcoins if those same bitcoins are going to be worth $200 a few months later and no one wants to sell an item worth $100 for bitcoins, because those coins could be worth $50 shortly after the transaction.

Today, trueDigital Holdings (TDH), a developer of institutional-grade digital asset trading solutions, announced that it has partnered with 10 liquidity providers and contributors, including Genesis Global Trading, XBTO Group, Circle, DV Chain, Hehmeyer Trading + Investments and Altonomy, to create what it claims are the first market maker based bitcoin and ether pricing indices.

“The launch of the trueDigital bitcoin and ether reference rates sets a new standard for the digital asset market and allays common concerns about the robustness and lack of transparency inherent in retail exchange-based bitcoin pricing composites,” says TDH in a release issued today.

The trueDigital reference rates, comprised of bid and offer pricing from top cryptocurrency market makers, include automated anti-manipulation safeguards such as outlier detection and price banding.

Crypto-Assets: Too Big to Ignore, Too Challenging to Trade?

Posted on by

Although cryptocurrencies have become too big for institutional investors to ignore, there are still significant barriers deterring them from entering the crypto space, said speakers at Profit & Loss’ 2018 Latin America conference in Mexico City.

Speaking on a panel at the event, Michael Moro, the CEO of Genesis Trading, argued that a lot of traditional financial services firms were caught out by both the popularity and the longevity of crypto-assets.

“I believe that – especially in the US – that the major institutions got caught. I don’t believe they ever wanted to deal in cryptos, they thought it was a fad or a ponzi scheme and were waiting for the bubble to burst and the whole thing to go away.

Blockchain Vs. Bitcoin: Is the Pendulum Swinging Back?

Posted on by

Galen Stops looks at why demand for cryptoassets has skyrocketed in 2017 and assesses whether they have any future in mainstream financial markets.

The first working implementation of a blockchain that the world had ever seen was in the Bitcoin software released in 2009. Bitcoin the cryptocurrency then rose to prominence in 2013 when, driven in part by a flurry of media attention, its value rose past $1,000 for the first time.

Following that, 2014 represented a long and painful year of price decline for Bitcoin as an asset, but it continued to garner a lot of attention, not always for good reasons. Then in 2015 the narrative began to change as people really started talking about the potential applications of blockchain technology distinct from any digital assets.
