Cryptocurrency trading volumes slump 40% in June, data shows, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


LONDON: Trading volumes at major cryptocurrency exchanges fell by more than 40 per cent in June, research showed on Monday, with a regulatory crackdown in China and lower volatility among the factors depressing activity.

Spot trading volumes fell 42.7 per cent to $2.7 trillion, with derivative volumes down 40.7 per cent to $3.2 trillion, London-based researcher CryptoCompare’s data showed.

Headwinds continued as China persisted with its crackdown on bitcoin mining,” CryptoCompare said. “As a result of both lower prices and volatility, spot volumes decreased.”

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, fell more than 6 per cent last month, touching its lowest since January, as authorities in China tightened restrictions launched a month earlier on bitcoin trading and mining.

It had tumbled 35 per cent in May, with its losses sparked by Beijing’s moves to rein in the fast-growing sector. Crypto trading volumes tend to spike during periods of extreme price swings.

Major cryptocurrency exchange Binance, which has faced scrutiny from regulators across the world, retained its position as biggest platform by spot trading volume, CryptoCompare said. Still, volumes at Binance fell 56 per cent in June to $668 billion.

5 Large Cap Funds With Best Returns Since Jan 1. Should You Invest?

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Franklin India Bluechip Fund

This fund according to research agency Morningstar has given a returns of 23.40% since the start of the year, making it the best mutual fund in terms of returns since Jan 1, 2021. This is only for mutual funds in the largecap category. Franklin India Bluechip Fund tends to invest in a range of companies, with a bias towards large cap companies. The longer term returns from the fund are 13.44% on an annualized basis for 3-years and 11.12% on an annualized basis for 5-years.

It’s important to understand that we are just providing information on best returns since Jan 1, 2021 and are not recommending any of these funds. An SIP can be started under Franklin India Bluechip Fund with a small sum of Rs 1,000 every month.

 Tata Large Cap Fund

Tata Large Cap Fund

According to research from Morningstar this is the fund that has taken the second position from among largecap stock schemes for highest returns since the start of the year. It has given a year to date returns of 20.87%. This fund tends to invest in largecap bluechip companies. Again, we are just providing information and not suggesting to invest by any chance.

Interestingly, an SIP is also possible in the fund with a sum of just Rs 150 per month. The Tata Large Cap Fund is not a very big fund in the sense the assets under management is less than Rs 1,000 crores. The 3-year returns are 12.6%, while the 5-year returns are 11.91%. Tata Large Cap Fund has invested in stocks like ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank etc.

 Mahindra Manulife Large Cap Pragati Yojana

Mahindra Manulife Large Cap Pragati Yojana

With returns of 19.38% since Jan 1, 2021, this fund has been ranked No 3 in ratings for year to date returns by Morningstar in the largecap category. This fund is a new fund launched only in 2019 and hence it is not possible to analyze the long term returns etc. The fund is very small and has assets under management of only Rs 123 crores. It has holdings in stocks like Infosys, ICICI Bank and Relaince Industries.

An SIP is possible in the fund with a sum of Rs 1,000 every month.

 Nippon India Large Cap Fund

Nippon India Large Cap Fund

Again, like peers mentioned above this is a largecap fund which invests in the biggest listed companies in the business. The fund is ranked fourth in terms of year to date returns of 18.86%.

Interestingly, one can start an investment with a small sum of Rs 100 and the minimum investment required is also Rs 100. The 3-year returns is almost 13.5% on an annualized basis, which is in line with how the markets have also performed over the years. However, the fund has only been accorded a 2-star rating from Value Research. We wish to emphasize the fact that the Sensex at near 53,000 points is at a new record and any large scale exposure to largecap equity mutual funds could erode wealth should the markets fall dramatically from these levels. It’s hence more prudent to invest, if you want to through the SIP mode.

 IDBI India Top 100 Equity Fund

IDBI India Top 100 Equity Fund

This is another largecap fund with year to date returns of 18.21%. The fund is a large cap fund with exposure to stocks like Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, Infosys and ICICI Bank. We do not suggest investing in any of the funds mentioned above as the markets have gone up sharply. As such you can consider SIPs which is a better option against wild market fluctuations.

UAE says to launch digital currency within five years, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


The United Arab Emirates will launch its first digital currency by 2026, the central bank of the oil-rich Gulf state, which serves as the region’s financial hub, said Monday.

Several central banks around the world have recently announced similar plans while criticising decentralised cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.

The Emirates central bank said its plans include “issuing a digital currency and driving digital transformation in the UAE‘s financial services sector, by utilising the latest artificial intelligence and big data solutions.”

The announcement is part of its “2023-2026 strategy” which aims to “position it among the world’s top 10 central banks”, it said according to state media.

In 2019, Saudi Arabia and the UAE announced a test phase of a common cryptocurrency for cross-border transactions.

The UAE has big tech ambitions, investing in artificial intelligence, launching a space program, and hosting the regional headquarters of large multinational digital firms.

Faced with increasing popularity of the cryptocurrency bitcoin, as well as for online payments during the pandemic, central banks are exploring new units of their own.

China launched the race in March with the start of a test phase of its digital yuan.

The central banks of the United States, the European Union and England are also evaluating the possibility of launching their own digital currencies, which are designed to bring stability to a highly speculative sector.

Created in 2008 as an alternative to traditional currencies, bitcoin is the world’s most popular virtual unit.

But its price has slumped recently due to fresh moves from China to crack down on cryptocurrencies.

CCEA clears LIC IPO; may hit market in Q4 of FY22

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


The Initial Public Offer (IPO) of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) moved one more step with the Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs (CCEA) green-lighting it.

“The CCEA has given in-principle approval,” a senior government official told BusinessLIne. Although the IPO timeline is not set, it is expected to hit the market in the fourth quarter of 2020-21. Also, there is no clarity on the size of IPO, but experts expect this to be the largest ever in India. The Centre has already notified all amendments to the LIC Act, 1956 to facilitate the IPO.

Earlier this month, in an interview to BusinessLine, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said the LIC IPO “is on course”. However, she refused to give a timeline fearing it will lead to speculation.

FM blows the privatisation bugle

The CCEA nod is the second big move for the LIC IPO. On June 19, based on decisions by SEBI, the Finance Ministry notified relaxed norms for large companies planning to enter the stock market.

LIC IPO: Government likely to invite bids from merchant bankers this month

The IPO of LIC is critical as the Government needs resources to meet its steeply stepped up spending to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic. The Centre has set a target of mopping up ₹1.75-lakh crore through disinvestment, with ₹1-lakh crore expected from sale of stake in public sector banks and financial institutions. As on date, ₹7,645.7 crore has been collected.

LIC’s auditor appointment made a board process, ahead of IPO

‘Bad bank’ is legally born, as NARCL gets incorporated with Corporate Affairs Ministry

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


The much-awaited bad bank — National Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd (NARCL) — has been incorporated, with the Corporate Affairs Ministry giving legal recognition few days back.

The NARCL — announced in this year’s Budget — will next approach the Reserve Bank of India for obtaining licence as an Asset Reconstruction Company (ARC).

“Registrar of Companies (RoC) Mumbai has given the registration for incorporation of NARCL. The other formalities are now being taken up,” sources close to the development said.

The capital structure will have a component of both equity and debt, they added. Public sector banks led by Canara Bank (which is likely to have 12 per cent stake) are expected to hold controlling stake in NARCL.

The other banks that are expected to pump in capital include State Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Bank of India and IDBI Bank.

NARCL may eventually get capitalised about ₹7,000 crore.

The government will not have any direct equity contribution to NARCL. It will guarantee the security receipts issued by NARCL, which will buy the bad loans from banks. The Centre has earmarked ₹31,000 crore for the guarantees.

22 assets identified

Already, PSBs have identified 22 assets (stressed consortium loans of over ₹500 crore) worth about ₹82,500 crore that will be transferred to the bad bank in phases. In the long run, stressed assets worth as much as ₹2-lakh crore are expected to be transferred to NARCL.

The NARCL is expected to stick to the existing industry practice of paying 15 per cent in cash and 85 per cent in security receipts.

Proposed in the Budget

It maybe recalled that this year’s Budget had proposed the setting up of an ARC along with an asset management company (AMC) (to be called India debt management company) to take over the stressed debt of banks. The AMC will be controlled by the private sector and would help around the stressed assets for recovery.

A bad bank is basically an entity that houses the bad loans (non-performing assets) of a bank and will resolve or liquidate bad debt (stressed debt) to recover as much money as it can.

Banks to invoke sureties given by promoters of 17 defaulting cos

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Several banks, including State Bank of India and Bank of Baroda, are moving to invoke the personal guarantees given by promoters of 17 defaulting companies including Punj Lloyd, Amtek Auto, ABG Shipyard, Videocon, Varun Shipping, and Lanco. They have approached the National Company Law Tribunal.

“Banks have decided that for invoking the personal guarantees, only the lead lender in each case will go to the NCLT. Applications have been filed before NCLT Benches in Delhi, Ahmedabad, Kolkata and Mumbai,”said a source.

In May, the Supreme Court upheld the amendment to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code that allowed lenders to invoke the personal guarantees of promoters to recover their dues. This came as a major relief for lenders as under the corporate insolvency process, they are able to recover 35-40 per cent of the total debt in most cases. Now, in the absence of a credible repayment plan, creditors can initiate bankruptcy proceedings against the promoters. According to a PIL in the Supreme Court, lenders can recover ₹1.6-lakh crore from 40 defaulting promoters through this route.

Post SC order, banks move to assess value of promoters’ assets

However, one major hurdle is that many promoters are scam-tainted and are being investigated for fraud. DHFL’s former promoter Kapil Wadhawan, for example, is in prison for alleged fraud. “Most of these promoters in default are scam-tainted and their multi-billion rupee assets already attached by the Enforcement Directorate and the Economic Offences Wing of the Police. Getting the assets released from these agencies will take its own time,” said a lawyer on conditions of anonymity as he represents a defaulting promoter.

Nakul Sachdeva of L&L Partners, said though there is the Supreme Court judgment, the procedure for invoking personal guarantees is yet to be fully tested.
