5 Our Vision 5 This is a joint partnership with Deriv Asia and DX Markets. Deriv Asia, with its extensive experience in understanding banking infrastructures and workflows, is looking to identify areas within banking where blockchain could be introduced with the objective of lowering costs, increasing efficiency while introducing tools to allow greater regulatory oversight and audit trail. DX Markets, having the cutting edge blockchain technical know how and design tools, will work to develop customized solutions in selected areas that have been identified within banking. Together, DX Markets and Deriv Asia will participate in comprehensive implementation, testing, parallel run, and final rollout of any of the solutions developed.
6 WHAT IS A BLOCK CHAIN? PART TWO
7 What is a block chain? 7 A block chain is a distributed ledger that maintains a list of financial transactions which is tamper-proof and updated in real time. This record is protected with a highly resistant cryptography system which is on par with what is currently used in banks.
8 Blockchain Technology 8 Participants Incentives Digital Signatures Defense Data Distribution Consensus Data Storage Blockchain Technology Cryptography
9 Basic Principles of Blockchain PART THREE
10 Basic Principles of Blockchain 10 Distributed Ledger Tokens Transactions Database Permissioned Blockchains
11 Distributed Ledger 11 Centralized Distribution Decentralized Distribution Central Server Clients Distributed Nodes
12 Distributed Ledger 12 Private Distribution Public Distribution Private blockchain network Public blockchain networks All participants are known and trusted. (contractual obligations) 1. Anyone can write data to the ledger. 2. Anyone can read data on the ledger.
13 Blockchain Tokens 13 Mining Vs. Minting Benefits & Challenges Token-less Blockchains
14 14 Blockchain Tokens: Mining Vs. Minting Validation Process Incentive Security New Tokens Suitable for MINING Nodes (members) validate transactions and bundle them in blocks which get added to the blockchain ledger. Proof of work. Act of mining is rewarded with an amount of blockchain tokens. Process of mining is deliberately computationally expensive to avoid malicious addition of invalid tx. Reward for mining obtained by miners also result in new tokens being produced. Public blockchains anyone can join MINTING Members have to get special credentials to join, the mining process is no longer required. Members are contractually bound. New tokens are issued by authorized members of the network, may require consensus. Private blockchains members are known entities
15 Blockchain Tokens: Token-less Blockchains 15 Tokens exist in blockchains as a reward mechanism or to prevent transaction spam in public networks. If the network is private and the members are well known and trusted then tokens are not needed to operate the blockchain. Ledger entries and still benefit from all the properties of the blockchain, but without the need for a token.
16 16 Blockchain Transactions Going Digital: Tokenization of Assets $ metadata encryption All products can be created as digital instruments in the blockchain.
17 Blockchain Transactions 17 Transaction: A buys $100m worth of bonds from B A USERS B LEDGER
18 Blockchain Transactions 18 Transaction: A buys $100m worth of bonds from B A USERS B LEDGER A sends a message to the blockchain network to pay B $100m
19 Blockchain Transactions 19 Transaction: A buys $100m worth of bonds from B A USERS B LEDGER A pays B $100m worth of cash A sends a message to the blockchain network to pay B $100m. digital fingerprint NODES Nodes validate and verify authenticity of msgs and blocks via digital fingerprints.
20 Blockchain Transactions 20 Transaction: A buys $100m worth of bonds from B A USERS B LEDGER A pays B $100m worth of cash B gives A $100m worth of bonds A sends a message to the blockchain network to pay B $100m. digital fingerprint NODES Nodes validate and verify authenticity of msgs and blocks via digital fingerprints.

24 Blockchain Database 24 Data Immutability blocks of transactions unique thumbprint validation ensures content of block cannot be modified ( immutable ) Audit Trail permanent record blocks cannot be deleted/changed full audit trail can be made public or private Storing Metadata free format field any data structure can be stored any form of information full details of transactions Encryption increased security cryptographic guarantees minimize risk of exposure enables autonomous control
25 Permissioned Blockchains 25 Defines user roles for each party for a specific function. Functions can include read, write, validate, issue and ETC.
26 Arguments for Blockchain PART FOUR
27 Arguments for Blockchain 27 Instant Settlement Peer to Peer ( P2P ) protocol Ledger updates automatically Reduce Operational Risk increased accuracy of trade data reduce settlement risk minimal parties and movements golden source of trust of info Real-Time Reporting eliminates potential reporting fines for late reporting or not complying with regulations reduce reputational risk Real-Time Auditing transparent historical record effective customized monitoring by participants, supervisors and regulators (privacy layering)
28 Arguments for Blockchain 28 Reduce Costs reduce fess: brokerage, settlement, etc. reduce operational costs: supervision, IT structure, etc. reduce reporting costs Tamper-Proof openly verifiable by community of network users mathematically impossible to delete data Resilient distributed nodes highly resistant to attack authenticity of transactions can be computationally verified Full In-Place Replacement improves on existing system due diligence, AML and KYC compliance requirements remain in place
29 Reduce Costs 29 Distributed ledger technology could reduce banks infrastructure costs attributable to cross-border payments, securities trading and regulatory compliance by between $15-20 billion per annum by Fintech 2.0 Paper, Santander InnoVentures Sources: World Bank remittance data; World Federation of Exchanges; Oxera; Financial Times; Oliver Wyman analysis
30 Privacy Layering 30 Regulators Custodians Counterparties
31 Smart Contracts PART FIVE
32 What is a Smart Contract? 32 Smart contracts are a piece of business logic that sits within the blockchain, defining the terms and conditions of a transaction.
33 Features of a Smart Contract 33 Self- Executing Defined Contract Conditions Built-In Triggers Automatic Settlement
34 Smart Contracts and the Derivatives World 34
35 Current Challenges in Banking PART SIX
36 Current Challenges in Banking 36 Regulations Disruptive Technology Cost of Capital Fragmented Markets Post-financial crisis banking landscape is challenged by regulations and compliance.
37 Impact of Capital on Banking 37 LEVERAGE CAPITAL FUNDING CVA The Leverage Ratio as a non risk weighted measure is having perverse effects by preventing banks from holding low yielding, high quality assets in preference for riskier assets which would produce a higher relative return of capital. Increased RWA for both market and credit risk will force banks to question their product offerings and client franchises in order to determine the optimal product mix and target client segment. It will force banks to abandon market share and focus on ROE. New liquidity rules are likely to push towards more deposits & reduced short term wholesale funding reliance, along with increased acceptance of high quality liquid assets from counterparties as collateral, designed to reduce roll over risk and duration of funding. NSFR will affect prime brokers who are facing less liquid hedge funds and rely on the bank for funding of assets that are not HQLA. New capital charge for over the counter ( OTC ) derivative exposures to address changes in market value associated with changes in the credit worthiness of a counterparty.
38 Result of Capital and Funding on Banking 38 Banks will need to set aside more capital. Funding will become more expensive. Banks will have to generate more return on capital for each business line. Profitability of each business line will be highly scrutinized. Capital allocation ideally tied to profitability of business unit.
39 Impact of Regulations on Costs 39 Dodd-Frank EMIR Basel 3 High regulatory compliance costs makes it much more expensive today to trade the same portfolio of OTC derivatives than pre Legal Fees Infrastructure Builds Technology Upgrades Data Connectivity Reporting & Clearing Fees Default Fund Contributions Funding for Margins & Collateral
40 Current Challenges in Banking 40 Prime Services Prime services will see a sharp reduction in ROE from 15% to about 8%. This type of business is not subject to RWA for market or credit, but will be severely affected by leverage ratio. Proprietary Trading Proprietary trading enjoyed an average preregulation ROE of 35% to 7% largely due to RWA for market risk and usage of company balance sheet. Volker rule will also discourage banks from conducting inhouse proprietary trading. ROE for some banks appears to be averaging around 6%-8% for banks after the financial crises which is lower than the long-term cost of capital (widely considered to be 10-12% by BIS study 2009). This is a risk for the banking industry as a whole, particularly US &European banks.
41 Markets, Costs & Disruptive Technology 41 Banks, trying to pass on the regulatory costs to clients, will encourage them to seek alternative trading platforms or solutions from non banks. $ Clients Non-Banks Bank Disruptive Technologies Rising Costs $ Regulations FINTECH COMPANY ELECTRONIC PLATFORM
42 Implications of Disruptive Technology 42 Loss of Revenue Replacement Agency Model Single Source Most of the infrastructures and technology in the market will be owned by FinTech companies and not banks. Banks will lose revenue to utilities and vendors for any infrastructure, post trade services and compliance monitoring (KYC, AML etc.) Cost effective trading platforms from nonbanks will start to replace broker dealer desks at banks for buyside, high net worth and retail clients. Broker Dealer desks at banks will try and reduce their capital costs to attempt to stay competitive on pricing. Thus, brokering will switch towards a pure agency model with little appetite to use balance sheet and warehouse risk. New multi asset electronic dealing platforms along with the ability to store financial and client data, calculate risk parameters and perform reporting, may offer clients a one stop single source of trading and post trading needs.

New multi asset electronic dealing platforms along with the ability to store financial and client data, calculate risk parameters and perform reporting, may offer clients a one stop single source of trading and post trading needs. Cost reduction opportunities and pressures to stay competitive against non banks with more sophisticated and lower cost technology may drive banks towards new partnerships in order to look for efficiencies from third-party services.
44 Case Study: Credit Suisse 44 of U.S.A. fixed income vanilla market is now TRADED ELECTRONICALLY CANNOT SUSTAIN BUSINESS 21% DECLINE in fixed income & trading revenues. BUT lower revenue higher RWA charges lower ROE doesn t want to lose its clients. SOLUTION? PARTNER Vendor Company fund to develop a trading platform RETAIN of independent subsidiary. Refer existing clients to electronic trading platform. same capabilities cheaper for clients Increase profits.
45 Case Study: Credit Suisse 45 RESULTS Avoided Capital Charges Credit Suisse has moved its fixed income business off balance sheet, thereby avoiding RWA capital charges. Retained Clients It has retained most of its clients. Increased Profit. It has kept a significant share of the profits and reversed its downward revenue trend.
