Crypto-innovations
Jim Kharouf, JLN
One look at today's newsletter will tell you something - the traditional Wall Street system is ripe for disruption. The JLN piece on Overstock.com's subsidiary Round One: How Overstock.com and tzero aim to knock out Wall Street shows how that firm is focused on using blockchain and its new Alternative Trading System ATS to do everything from trading securities via a blockchain, to finding an after hours trading niche.
But tzero aims to create much more than that. While it's still early days, it is not hard to imagine using the blockchain technology for a direct-to-market IPO. And today's Wall Street Journal story, Forget an IPO, Coin Offerings Are New Road to Startup Riches, illustrates the innovative ways firms are now raising capital via crypto-coin offerings. It's so new, it is hard to even describe. But the gist of it is that firms are successfully raising IPO level cash using these coin offering, sidestepping the traditional routes to going public.
Whether tzero's efforts in blockchain or coin offerings are the next big innovation, Wall Street should take notice. There are innovators looking for new, cheaper and more efficient ways to bring your company to the broader market.
Speaking of disruptors, who might be the next disrupter, innovator, leader to join our industry?
Next week is our MarketsWiki Education series in New York - July 11 and 12. We have a great list of speakers who have earned those credentials and will share them with your summer interns. Please send them our way. It's well worth their time. Register for the New York or Chicago events on July 17, 19, and 21 HERE

Round One: How Overstock.com and tzero aim to knock out Wall Street; Tzero using blockchain to trade and settle securities, cutting out the need for stock exchanges and clearinghouses
By Jim Kharouf - JLN
There are fintech disruptors and pioneers and then there are those who want to knock Wall Street off its feet.
T0.com,or tzero, is looking to change the way stocks are bought and sold with a vision that changes how markets operate. Joe Cammarata, president of tzero, is no stranger to disruptive technologies on Wall Street. He's made a living off them. From his involvement in building the first off-exchange equity network - Island ECN for Datek Securities - to the first smart order routing systems called Sonic Trading, Cammarata has been in the mix.
Two years ago, Cammarata got a call from the founder and CEO of the online retail giant Overstock.com, Patrick Byrne, who wanted to move into the equities space. Before long, the Staten Island native was melding securities trading with blockchain technology at tzero, a majority-owned subsidiary of Overstock.com.

Russell Extended at ICE
By John J. Lothian
Open interest at ICE has now been extended in the rest of the Russell suite of products with one contract of open interest in each of the months for all the Russell contracts at the exchange. This will keep the Russell contracts active beyond the trade off to the CME, potentially. The Russell suite of products is scheduled to begin trading on July 10 at the CME Group.
The contracts include: RUSSELL 2000 MINI INDEX FUTURES, RUSSELL 1000 VALUE INDEX FUTURES, RUSSELL 1000 MINI INDEX FUTURES and the RUSSELL 1000 GROWTH INDEX FUTURES. You can see the stats on the ICE Preliminary Open Interest Report HERE
One has to wonder who was behind this move. And how did the party who wanted these positions on find a counterparty willing to enter into an illiquid trade? I am sure there is more to come on this story.
