FIA Expo Day Two: Alternatives to LIBOR
Suzanne Cosgrove - John Lothian News
Transitions, disruptions and outright change are not new to the futures and options industry, but at this year's FIA Expo, those themes seemed to loom especially large.
One of the biggest changes the industry is facing is the transition from LIBOR to other benchmarks. A panel on Thursday called "The Countdown to Transitioning to IBORS," covered that topic. An exchange deadline is more than a year away, but the panelists are keeping a close eye on the countdown.
The panel's chair, Karen Buzard, senior counsel, US Know How at Allen & Overy, kicked off the discussion with the statement that "LIBOR is going away," and everyone should get over it. But she added she's already had many sleepless nights thinking about the change.

ICE Futures US filed three certifications with the CFTC for programs to enhance its Bakkt bitcoin futures performance. The trading requirements are not public. One program is a plain vanilla market-maker program. Another is a liquidity provider program open to ten proprietary traders "who have a demonstrated ability to trade . . . at sufficient volume levels." The third, quite unusual one is called a "delivery incentive program" and is "open to participants which have the ability to deliver bitcoin." ICE did not publish how much it is paying. ~Thom Thompson

Futures Are Pulling Cryptocurrencies Out of the Dark; We'll remember 2019 as the year when the path to a peaceful coexistence with established markets became clear.
Aaron Brown - Bloomberg
People have a love-hate relationship with the futures markets. Futures are either financial drivers of rapid economic growth, turbocharging small amounts of capital to outflank entrenched barriers to innovation, or — to a populist — they are demonic pits where speculators manipulate prices and corrupt honest real economic activity. Since people also love or hate cryptocurrency, the rise of Bitcoin futures trading in 2019 is controversy-squared.

CryptoMarketsWiki Coin of the Week: NEO
The price of NEO, sometimes called "the Ethereum of China," spiked a whopping 47 percent this week. Following a speech by Chinese president Xi Jinping on Sunday in which Jinping called for greater research into its potential applications, the crypto markets saw a huge influx of activity, especially for altcoins associated with Chinese companies. NEO benefitted the most from the increased activity, increasing more than any other digital asset in the top 20 coins - even more than bitcoin (BTC).

Derivatives to crash markets again? Money market trouble provides solid gold for Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren
John Dizard - FT
It is never a good sign when arcane money market mechanisms become interesting to anyone other than the geeks who operate them. That is what has happened to the US repo market since September 17, when the normally placid business of short term borrowing against "general collateral", ie high-quality securities, started a period of spiky interest rates, noticeable spreads between rates offered to different institutions, and hasty, large scale interventions by the Federal Reserve.

Fed caught between political factions over repo; Market dislocation triggers calls for looser banking rules

The arcane intricacies of the US repo market appear to be turning political. The typically staid market — where banks and investors borrow cash for the short term in exchange for government bonds and other high-quality collateral — went haywire in September and the ripples continue to spread.

It's Year Two following the massive tax overhaul of 2017. For Americans who are still getting used to the new rules, it's important to sort things out before the year ends. "People are confused about their withholding and refunds, and whether they need to save receipts to prove itemized deductions—plus other things," says Terry Durkin, an enrolled agent in Burlington, Mass., who prepares over 300 tax returns a year.

Izabella Kaminska - FT
The rise and popularity of stablecoins is subjecting the crypto world to mass cognitive dissonance. On one hand, stablecoins are to be adored because they were born out of the cryptocurrency movement, are distributed on blockchains and — in the case of Tether at least — support the entire crypto economy.

Bitcoin Mining Power Sees Short-Term Drop as Rainy Season Ends in China
Wolfie Zhao - Coindesk
After sustained growth over the past three months, computing power on the bitcoin network has seen a fallback as the summer rainy season trails off in China. According to data from Poolin, the world's largest bitcoin mining pool by real time hash rate, bitcoin's seven-day average computing (or hashing) power has dropped to around 90 exahashes per second (EH/s) since Oct. 24, signaling that some miners have been unplugging from the network. It had previously been estimated that the hash rate would go above the 100 EH/s threshold by the end of 2019.

Next China: Who dominates blockchain?
Bloomberg News
Here's a surprising sentence: the Politburo of the Communist Party of China held a special meeting to learn more about blockchain. The first reason that's surprising is who. The Politburo is made up of China's 25 most-senior officials, mostly in their sixties, and traditionally not a group known for being tech savvy. Second is what. While blockchain is not only about cryptocurrencies, cryptocurrencies have been the most widely used application of the technology. And China essentially banned digital currencies in 2017, which is where the third surprise comes in.

Timothy L. O'Brien - Bloomberg
After weeks of damaging testimony from current and former White House advisers and career diplomats, the House of Representatives voted on Thursday to publicly endorse the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.
/jlne.ws/34jwxGN
The impeachment inquiry vote came down to the politics of party, not elections
Philip Bump - The Washington Post
The most immediate reaction to the House vote on Thursday moving forward with an impeachment inquiry targeting President Trump is a lack of surprise. Democrats control the majority, and a number of tallies of support (including tallies from The Washington Post) have shown that nearly every Democrat backed the inquiry. Nor is it surprising that Republicans opposed the move, at least in the context of our partisan age: There's little that the two parties agree upon, and an investigation of a Republican president popular with his own party doesn't seem like the thing to bridge that gap.
