Build or Buy? Exchanges Continue to Branch Out For Revenues Through Acquisition
Jim Kharouf - JLN
Exchanges are continuing to look at two areas for revenue growth - consolidation and acquisition of non-exchange service firms, according to a new report from Burton Taylor. -
The report, presented at the World Federation of Exchange's General Assembly and Annual Meeting in Athens and authored by Andy Nybo, shows that ICE topped exchanges in revenue in 2017 with $4.6 billion, followed by CME with $3.6 million, Deutsche Boerse with $2.7 billion, LSE Group with $2.5 billion and Nasdaq with $2.4 billion. Global revenues from the 15 top exchanges totaled $30.7 billion last year, up 8.1 percent from 2016.
The sector showing the most revenue growth for exchanges was information services, which rose 9.1 percent last year to $5.9 billion and represented 19.4 percent of all exchange revenues.

ESMA Keeping Tight Leash On EU Trading Venues
Jim Kharouf - JLN
Steven Maijoor, chair of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), said MiFID II rules launched in January are indeed living up to expectations of pushing more trading onto exchanges, but more work may be required.
In remarks before the World Federation of Exchanges annual meeting in Athens, Maijoor said less trading volume is flowing to dark pools and onto exchanges and so-called systematic internalisers (SIs), used by banks and algorithmic trading firms to fill customer orders. The use of ongoing periodic auctions for contracts, however, is coming under greater scrutiny, Maijoor said. These millisecond auctions may not being adhering to the rules set out in MiFID II.

11 Takeaways From The Times's Investigation Into Trump's Wealth
Russ Buettner, Susanne Craig and David Barstow - NY Times
Donald J. Trump built a business empire and won the presidency proclaiming himself a self-made billionaire, and he has long insisted that his father, the legendary New York City builder Fred C. Trump, provided almost no financial help. "I built what I built myself," the president has repeatedly said.
But an investigation by The New York Times has revealed that Donald Trump received the equivalent today of at least $413 million from his father's real estate empire. What's more, much of this money came to Mr. Trump through dubious tax schemes he participated in during the 1990s, including instances of outright fraud, The Times found.

A Tale of Four Cryptocurrency Enforcement Actions
Stradley Ronon
On September 11, 2018, four new and important regulatory actions and rulings were announced against cryptocurrency firms. A federal district court denied a motion to dismiss, finding that the cryptocurrency tokens offered as part of an initial coin offering (ICO) may be deemed "securities" and therefore subject to U.S. federal securities laws. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued two settled orders, one against a hedge fund manager and the other against a cryptocurrency trading platform. Finally, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) filed a complaint involving a broker who sold unregistered securities called HempCoins. Each matter is individually summarized below.
