DS3 Business Update - Jan 2025 ▫️Institutional Crypto - Expansion Our clients are focused on next strategic moves, specifically scaling opportunities. ▫️ M&A We see two groups: 1. Crypto-native entities looking to capitalize on better market conditions by exiting. 2. Cash rich companies positioning for U.S. market and mainstream adoption via acquiring customers, exploring cross-sell opportunities, obtaining regulatory licenses via acquisition. DS3 clients are asking us to help identify buyers, prep for sale, leverage Europe, secure investment and find operating partners. We expect more M&A across exchanges, trading (derivatives), data, stablecoin growth / start up and retail aggregation (at the prosumer end). ▫️ Access to and Provision of Capital - Traditional Finance We are looking for businesses who have identified outsized and scalable returns within their niche and are in need of sizable capital to help capture this opportunity. Capital is being provided by regulated traditional partners within the DS3 network.   We are still seeing distressed, special situations, shareholder clean up and wind down opportunities, despite the up cycle. We have executed trades in the tens of thousands up to one hundred million dollar face value. ▫️ FTX - Claims and Preferred Equity ◆ FTX Claims – We are bidding 136% to 138% range for sizable claims, seeing sales as holders look for earlier liquidity. ◆ FTX Preferred Equity – We are a buyer. If you are a holder and don’t want to wait for the IRS for your 11c, please get in contact. ▫️ Crypto Hedge Funds - TradFi HNW Allocators Our traditional finance network is deploying into crypto hedge funds, mostly market neutral and HFT but some discretionary directional mandates. Contact us to discuss if you're a crypto native fund or allocator. ▫️ Trading Crypto - Identifying Alt Coin Opportunities for Funds and Prosumers Growing interest in our partners at Swissblock Technologies AG. Swissblock have been trading crypto proprietarily at scale for >8 years, bridging quantitative to qualitative. They have trading tools that are customisable by factor and portfolio needs. There is a window for select partners who could benefit from these tools used internally. Please reach out for a demo or if you are trading crypto at scale in a discretionary manner. ▫️ Crypto Lending and Credit Funds Existing crypto native institutions who are sitting on cash or coin are looking to lend again. Whilst the PB landscape is still small, active funds, VC and bank incumbents are creating their own internal credit funds. The need for flexible, purpose built software to manage lending, settlement and positioning will become a core tech need. Please reach out to us or Membrane Labs directly to discuss in more detail.

United States SEC fines online trading platform eToro $1.5 million for providing unauthorised securities in crypto assets, and to provide only Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash & Ether trading. Read - https://lnkd.in/g2YW-Mtb follow Caproasia | Driving the future of Asia The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has fined online trading platform eToro $1.5 million for providing unauthorised securities in crypto assets, and to provide only Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash & Ether trading.  United States SEC (12/9/24): “The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that eToro USA LLC has agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle charges that it operated an unregistered broker and unregistered clearing agency in connection with its trading platform that facilitated buying and selling certain crypto assets as securities. eToro has agreed to cease and desist from violating the applicable federal securities laws and will make only a limited set of crypto assets available for trading.  The SEC’s order finds that, since at least 2020, eToro operated as a broker and clearing agency by providing U.S. customers the ability, through eToro’s online trading platform, to trade crypto assets being offered and sold as securities, but eToro did not comply with the registration provisions of the federal securities laws.  eToro publicly announced that, going forward and subject to the provisions of the SEC’s order in this matter, the only crypto assets that U.S. customers can trade on the company’s platform will be Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ether. eToro publicly announced that it will provide its customers with functionality to sell all other crypto assets for only 180 days after the issuance of the SEC’s order.  Without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings, eToro agreed to the entry of a cease-and-desist order, to pay a penalty of $1.5 million, and, within 187 days of the order, to liquidate any crypto assets being offered and sold as securities that eToro is unable to transfer to its customers, and return the proceeds to the respective customers.”
