Can the Bitcoin surge push India to overcome its cryptocurrency hurdles?

18 Mar 2024  |  The National  |  English  |  Investment

The recent surge in Bitcoin prices has led to a significant increase in trading volumes for Indian cryptocurrency platforms like CoinDCX and WazirX. Despite this, heavy taxes imposed by the Indian government have dampened investor interest, with many investors moving to foreign exchanges. The industry sees the high tax rate as recognition of cryptocurrencies as legitimate investments, and there is a call for regulatory clarity. The US SEC's approval of Bitcoin ETFs and the upcoming Bitcoin halving event are contributing to the market's growth. Indian exchanges are eager for a regulatory framework, and there is optimism that India's G20 presidency will lead to better industry regulation.

Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, advocates for negotiation over retaliation with the US under Donald Trump's trade policies.

She also highlights the technological gap with the US and the importance of cross-border mergers in the banking sector.

Are the SEC’s Private Fund Advisers Rules Now Dead? No, but they are on Life Support

05 Jun 2024  |  www.jdsupra.com  |  English  |  Legal Rulings

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has vacated the SEC's Private Fund Advisers Rules, ruling that the SEC exceeded its authority under the Administrative Procedures Act. The court found that the SEC's interpretation of its regulatory powers under Sections 211(h) and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act was incorrect, particularly in relation to private funds and sophisticated investors. The SEC now faces several options, including appealing the decision or drafting new rules. Despite the ruling, some institutional investors may still seek terms aligned with the vacated rules, and the SEC may continue to push for transparency in private fund operations. Additionally, similar regulatory objectives might be adopted by non-U.S. regulators, impacting U.S. private funds operating internationally.

The SEC has disbanded its ESG task force, initially established to address misleading ESG claims, amidst setbacks and shifting corporate priorities. Despite initial enthusiasm, the ESG movement is facing challenges, with companies prioritizing inflation, AI, and geopolitical issues over sustainability. Missouri's Secretary of State is appealing a federal court decision invalidating anti-ESG rules. A Bain & Co. survey indicates a decline in corporate focus on ESG, while a book review by the American Institute for Economic Reform critiques ESG practices, advocating for businesses to oppose political and ideological neutrality. The text highlights the evolving landscape of corporate governance and regulatory compliance.

The 12B-1 plan is a strategic blueprint used by mutual fund companies to optimize the distribution of funds through intermediaries, involving sales commissions and 12B-1 distribution expenses. It focuses on open-end mutual funds with different class structures for sales charges and distribution expenses. Sales commissions compensate intermediaries, while 12B-1 expenses support marketing and distribution. Mutual fund companies must disclose sales load schedules and 12B-1 expenses in the fund's prospectus, which requires SEC filing and board approval for any changes. The 12B-1 plan is crucial for investor understanding and ensures accountability and transparency in mutual fund investments.

A study by Bitsight and Diligent Institute found that companies with robust cybersecurity governance create nearly four times more shareholder value than those without. The study analyzed over 4,000 companies, revealing that specialized committees with cybersecurity experts are more effective at improving security postures and financial performance. However, the integration of such experts on boards is lacking, with only 5% of surveyed companies and 12% of S&P 500 companies having them. The report emphasizes the importance of integrating cybersecurity expertise into board structures and decision-making processes. Another survey by the Cybersecurity at MIT Sloan Research Consortium highlighted the need for better board member interaction with CISOs to manage cybersecurity risks effectively.
