[email protected] over in Bitcarnage, it was a legendary week. For the first time without criminal action or bankruptcy, we had the same headline in both Bit Carnage and Exchange Invest for One Day. Welcome to the stock market parallel universe as NYSE seeks to tokenize with the US maxing out on regulatory confusion masquerading as clear support of crypto et al, albeit incoherently beyond the ability of certain folks, often with names ending in rump making a profit, the New York Stock Exchange is developing a tokenized securities platform. The big thing here is truly that in an EFF to secure their futures, the prevailing preeminent exchanges now sense they may have to kill their own business model to thrive in the future. And that also comes with a side order of it could kill the DTCC monopoly too. There are so many ramifications here. It's fascinating, but at the same time a sensible move by NYC to preserve its brand and world leader position.

Meanwhile, in the world of exchanges, the white heat of competition may impact the business of disintermediation in ways nobody has truly priced in as ICE looks to tokenize nicely, which will cause vast upheavals to both the old old and the new new thing. Could the ghost of Taurus, the LSE's infamous settlement fiasco, finally be laid to rest with a new digital system from the one proven competent c suiter at LSEG? Then again, LSE's move was instantly overshadowed by the Nicey tokenization push that it changes the face of the industry.

[email protected] over in Product News this week Singapore Exchanges is proposing bond futures for India and Southeast Asia, leading me to wonder how long before Indian authorities decide that bond futures are proprietary like the SEBI futures fiasco we had previously over. The nifty 50 CME group meanwhile are launching hundreds ounce silver futures to meet record retail demand, overwhelming retail demand from the marketplace which best embodies retail trading nowadays. The once soundly institutional CME Interactive brokers. Quite a development there. They're now going to let clients fund their accounts with US dollar stablecoins.
Over in technology news, LSEG is collaborating with Amazon web Services to support real time data infrastructure. That's further to a series of developments with AWS over recent years and of course also LSEG and Microsoft launching a 10 year strategic partnership for Next Gener data and analytics and cloud infrastructure which took place only a couple of years earlier when Microsoft made a significant equity investment in LSEG through the acquisition of shares. Regulation News this week one speech she should be reading remarks at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange given by none other than the US chairman of the SEC, Paul Atkins. Karib has great news from an IPL vid alumni. He was on episode number 43, Botswana Rising. Tupelo Shole, having been the Rwandan regulatory chief in recent times, is moving on to become the new CEO of AfriRex.
Finally, a sad piece of news in the career path area. David Webb, an advocate for Hong Kong's economic freedom and at all point in time, a better stock market. David Webb, who founded web site, a free online site that offered stock market news and data while advocating for transparency and better corporate and economic governance, a living legend in Hong Kong markets, is sadly no more. David Webb has passed away after a lengthy illness.
Congratulations to Russell McGranahan. He's been named the SEC's general counsel. And farewell to Daniel Schmuckey, the CFO of six who's stepping down from the six executive board and will oversee the transition to his successor over in Big World well, there's obviously been so many topics going on as it's been a busy start to the year, but the thesis is the Maduro extraction has made the world a safer place for now as challenging the US is a clear death wish wrapped in a suicide note without the tortured elegance of seppuku ritual. However, if Cuba is liberated, and I believe that it could be the year this happens, ladies and gentlemen, that's going to remake the entire Caribbean region, putting big pressure on existing mega tourist nations. Arguably the most exotic and heavily branded mainstream Caribbean brand, Cuba is going to be the first choice for visitors for several years once it reaches economic liberty. While I believe a free Cuba will eventually raise the whole regional economy, short term there's likely to be a major substitution effect where tourists will head for the more more exotic Havana and the rest of the remarkably large Cuban landmass. That could leave a lot of smaller islands losing cream off the top of what has generally been a hugely profitable tourist return since COVID ended.
