TradFi tactics win on Uniswap v3 says BIS study

A study published by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) claims that the most successful liquidity providers on Uniswap v3 are sophisticated institutional agents who mimic the tactics of traditional finance. Despite the promise of decentralized finance (DeFi) opening up lucrative opportunities to average Joes, the findings show that there’s no such thing as a free lunch. The BIS’ 36-page Working Paper compares “sophisticated and unsophisticated participants” across the top 250 pools, representing 96% of volume on the decentralized exchange (DEX); the groups are defined according to their “behavior and position sizes.” The “profitability, liquidity provision strategies and responses to market changes” of the two groups were then analyzed to explore “whether DEXs fulfill their promise of ‘democratizing’ financial markets by allowing anyone to participate in liquidity provision without intermediaries.” Rather than wide-range, passive liquidity provision, the more

Federal Judge Rejects Kraken Bid To Appeal Decision In SEC Case

Image
A California federal judge has rejected a bid by crypto exchange Kraken to appeal his decision to let the company’s lawsuit with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proceed. In a Nov. 18 order , Judge William Orrick dismissed Kraken’s motion for an interlocutory appeal. He stated that he determined the SEC has “adequately alleged” that the cryptocurrencies traded and sold on Kraken’s platform qualified as investment contracts under the Howey test and are therefore subject to securities laws.  Kraken Argues Cryptos On Its Platform Don’t Meet The Requirements Of The Howey Test The Judge’s order comes after Kraken asked for permission to appeal the August rejection of its motion to dismiss. Kraken’s legal team argued that there was “substantial ground for difference of opinion” regarding securities laws which a higher court could answer to potentially resolve the case early.  Kraken also questioned whether an investment contract which has no contract or no post-sale obli
