Alphabet Soup: The DAO, ETH, ICOs and the SEC
By Jim Falvey
Technology usually outpaces the law. It can take months, if not years, for legislators, regulators and courts to gain an understanding of technology and then to apply existing law to the new technology and/or create new laws for the technological developments. In the remarkable world of cryptocurrencies and distributed ledger technology (often referred to as "Blockchain"), we are seeing both occur.
In May 2016, a virtual organization called The DAO, which stands for Decentralized Autonomous Organization, came onto the scene in the Ethereum world. For the uninitiated, the Ethereum Blockchain sponsors the second most significant virtual currency in the world behind Bitcoin, known as Ether ("ETH"). The total market capitalization of the Ether is about $27 billion.
The DAO, which took its name from the description of itself (its approach to naming itself is not unlike a well-known rock group in the 60s calling itself, "The Band" - elegant in its simplicity), sought to raise ETH to fund projects to generate profit. That sounds awfully similar to private equity and/or venture capital raising dollars to fund projects to make money. However, there are a few wrinkles between the two models. For example, to raise capital/ETH in order to fund projects, The DAO itself issued what it called "DAO Tokens" in exchange for ETH. So, instead of creating a VC firm and raising US dollars to fund projects and providing shares and/or ownership interest in the VC to those who provided funds, The DAO raised Ether in exchange for DAO Tokens.

'Father of Financial Futures' Seeks Cryptocurrency Hardware Patent
Stan Higgins - CoinDesk
A U.S. economist and businessman known for his work in spearheading the early development of futures contracts is seeking a cryptocurrency patent.
Richard Sandor, a former Chicago Board of Trade chief economist and vice president, advanced the utilization of financial futures back in the 1970s, earning him the moniker "the father of financial futures" and, later, "the father of carbon trading," according to Time.

IOSCO Consults On Recommendations To Improve Transparency Of Corporate Bond Markets
Mondovisione
Corporate bond markets are a significant part of the global capital markets and a critical source of financing for economic growth. Since 2004, various developments have impacted corporate bond markets. These include changes in regulation as well as the market structure; the entrance of new participants; a shift from the traditional dealer-based principal model to an agency based model; and the increasing use of technology. In response to these significant changes, the Board of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) agreed to examine the liquidity of secondary bond markets and published its findings in March 2017.

The fine art of not putting all your eggs in one basket
Catherine Yoshimoto, senior index product manager - FTSE Russell
Surely you've heard the proverb, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." But whether you're talking about indexing or life in general, following that advice isn't always as simple as it sounds. Many popular market indexes are weighted by the market caps of their constituents, resulting in indexes that predominantly reflect the performance of the few largest companies. An index that equally weights each of its constituents would mitigate this size bias. However, this approach simply moves your eggs into yet another basket - the sectors with the highest number of constituent companies. So how can we neutralize both of these biases to arrive at an index with both sector and company diversification?
