Landmark 4-corner DNI transactions completed under ITFA's Digital Negotiable Instrument Initiative Lloyds Banking Group and Mercore, utilising Enigio's trace:original technology, have completed the first digital bill of exchange transactions to involve the node-to-node transfer of a Digital Negotiable Instrument (#DNI) between two financial institutions, each dealing with their own client. This accomplishment is a testament to the shared aspirations, brilliance and commitment of those involved, as well as the genius of the technological solution employed. These transactions demonstrate the ease and advantages of #digitaltrade transactions when compared to a paper-based process, and represent a highly significant step along the road to scalable digitalisation. Just what the #ETDA was made for. Read the full press release: https://lnkd.in/eGgrJK2u

Last night, the D2LT UK team got together for a #teambuilding social. The night was filled with great conversations, healthy competition and amazing food! We kicked things off at an #escaperoom where we put our problem-solving and #teamwork skills to the test. We split into four groups to see who could escape first – and let's just say, the teamwork was on point! Well done to the winning team who made it out in record time and congratulations to our 3 prize winners - Most Valuable Player - Sylvia Papadopoulou Ultimate Team Player - Emma Wooldridge Most Energetic Player - George Ftikas (Although, everyone is a winner!) After escaping (with minutes to spare), we celebrated with a delicious dinner at Tayyabs accompanied by great conversation, and a lot of laughs. It was the perfect way to connect, recharge, and celebrate the hard-working team we have at D2LT. Here's to more shared memories and victories!

Delighted to have been able to share some of our insights and experience into #GenerativeAI adoption & business cases with Lucy McNulty for Banking Risk and Regulation. As D2LT's CEO Akber Datoo highlights, using #GenAI to tackle legacy issues may be, for many banks, a logical starting point and one where early gains can be made. Read more in Following the Rules' post below 👇
🤖 Global banks are experimenting with generative artificial intelligence tools to tackle intractable legacy issues that their workforce is either unable or reluctant to address, or that works out cheaper than human labour, writes Lucy McNulty. ☁️ The move to the cloud is one such problem with which virtually all banks are grappling. Four global banks are in talks to adopt genAI tools designed by tech provider EXL to streamline decades-old data management processes and ease the migration of old technology to new cloud infrastructures, according to Kshitij Jain the company’s global chief strategy officer for analytics. 🧑💻 Use of GenAI to tackle projects involving outdated IT systems, datasets or documentation — known as legacy issues — was “very logical” and “the area where banks have been fastest to approve usage”, says Akber Datoo of D2 Legal Technology. ⛔ This is because manual fixes mean training staff on a myriad of legacy systems. Staff are disincentivised to cooperate because they fear their efforts will ultimately be superseded by GenAI, making their role redundant, or the work will be too dull to advance their career. ⚠️ Other experts, however, caution about the quality of the output and the need for human oversight. 👀 Read more below https://lnkd.in/epVtpZwV #GenAI #Banking #BankingIndustry

Global Regulatory Update: APRA delays implementation of Basel III market risk framework Recently, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) released its corporate plan for 2024-2025. The #BaselIII market risk framework – the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (#FRTB) – is not included in APRA’s plans for 2024-2025, indicating that no formal draft standards or consultation will be issued during this period. Consequently, the implementation date for the revised FRTB rules will be delayed beyond 2026. The industry is expected to maintain momentum towards FRTB readiness, with preparations for the default risk charge, the standardised approach and the internal models approach, but excluding the non-modellable risk factor framework.

A great listen from Professor Sarah Green, D2LT's Head of Digital Assets and Trade Finance, as she spoke on the In Early Podcast on #digitalassets, #cryptoassets and the definition of #data as #property. Tune in 👇
Episode 2 features Professor Sarah Green who has just finished a four year tenure at the Law Commission of England and Wales as Law Commissioner. Sarah’s law reform work includes the Electronic Trade Documents Act 2023, advice to the Government on Smart Contracts, and preparing legislating to ensure that English Law can accommodate Digital Assets. Sarah and Matt Green speak about the journey of digital assets, including cryptoassets, becoming “property” at common law to where we are now, with legislation looking to define "things" as property, using a negative definition proposed by the Judiciary: 👉 UK Jurisdiction Taskforce’s Legal Statement on Cryptoassets and Smart Contracts of 18 November 2019 which argued there should be no bar to cryptoassets being property at law, and for smart contracts to be legally binding: https://lnkd.in/ey-qUZc7 👉 AA v Persons Unknown: Re Bitcoin, which relied on that paper, and in which the Judge confirmed “I consider that a cryptoasset such as Bitcoin is property” https://lnkd.in/evRX-rgJ 👉 Law Commisison’s Digital Assets Call to Evidence April 2021, including some of Sarah’s favourite and notable feedback from the industry: https://lnkd.in/eAAVsU5w 👉 Digital Assets Consultation Paper of 28 July 2022, which proposed a third category of property called a Data Object, considering the inclusion and status of data, even considering absurd Matrix-esque environments where everything is data: https://lnkd.in/eYF6EF5R 👉 The Law Commission’s Digital Assets Final Report of 28 June 2023, which removed the need for this new property definition to include “composed of data” and changes the definition to recognise property where “merely by reason of the fact it is neither a thing in action nor a thing in possession”: https://lnkd.in/e89X4Fnm 👉 Finally the Supplemental Report and Draft Bill (now the Property (Digital Assets etc.) Bill) that a “thing” can be property, with the words “digital” and “electronic” as references: https://lnkd.in/ez225yyj 👉 Matt questions: - the Law Commission’s recommendation that important academic and practical issues are played out in Court, which is often infrequent, given a client’s limited resources to litigate through to answer, when there is an opportunity to answer them now; - what rivalrous means, given Matthew Kimber Pokémon references; - whether data is property; and - more about D2 Legal Technology and the problem it looks to solve In this clip Sarah considers the reason why the Bill used the term “things” and the Judiciary’s plea for flexibility in legislation to allow them to properly create and future proof common law.

FTC Announces Crackdown on Deceptive AI Claims and Schemes The US Federal Trade Commission's "Operation #AI Comply" has led to five law enforcement actions against operations deemed to use AI hype or sell AI technology that can be used deceptively or unfairly. One of those organisations, DoNotPay, claimed to offer a #legalAI service, and has settled charges against it claiming that it did not conduct testing to determine whether its AI #chatbot's output was equal to the level of a human lawyer, and that the company itself did not hire or retain any attorneys. This action is particularly poignant as law firms and in-house legal teams seek to embrace emerging tech and AI - and reinforces the imperative for the legal industry to embrace rapidly evolving regulatory frameworks and #compliance requirements. Firms cannot afford to ignore these developments and must consider strategic roadmaps regarding use of AI, and have appropriate training, policies and procedures. There is no other way to successfully navigate the uncertainties and remain ahead - and unlock the huge opportunity the advances in #LegalTech and AI can bring. Read: https://lnkd.in/gb8Zf_tc

Conclusions to HK's joint further consultation on enhancements to the OTC #derivatives reporting regime - will Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) be issuing "final rules"? The organisations have clarified that the Hong Kong CDE exercise does not involve any rule amendments, and therefore no “final rules” per se will be published. As the regulators have explained in the Conclusions, some content is being tracked and is due to be published in the upcoming final version 4 of the CDE Technical Guidance (currently estimated to be in Feb 2025). Thereafter, they will look to complete the legal process. However, industry should not wait for the final version of the Guidance before starting the preparation for implementation.

Australias #derivative transaction rule changes are on final countdown to October 21. ASIC recently published its final items of technical guidance to support the ASIC Derivative Transaction Rules (Reporting) 2024 (https://lnkd.in/eaSGt8Up), updating its webpage to include: -> Schedule 1 Technical Guidance -> Reporting Entity Guidance and Minimum TR Validation Guidance -> Worked Examples While many market players are working hard to meet the October deadline, ASIC has said it will take a measured approach to compliance until March 2025 for reporting entities that make reasonable efforts to comply with the 2024 Rules, but if it identifies deliberate or systemic breaches, or a failure to make all reasonable endeavours to come into compliance, it will take regulatory action.
