Banks, Industry Players Launch Blockchain Commodities trading Platform
A new blockchain organization has been put together to standardize a new commodities trading platform.
New details include:
The Swiss-based venture, dubbed komgo SA, has been established by a host of international financing, trading, and production institutions that include ABN AMRO, BNP Paribas, Citi, Credit Agricole Group, Gunvor, ING, Koch Supply & Trading, Macquarie, Mercuria, MUFG Bank, Natixis, Rabobank, Shell, SGS, and Societe Generale.
“The first [komgo product] will standardize and facilitate the know-your-customer [KYC] process. The second […] will be a digital letter of credit, allowing commodity houses or other platforms to submit digital trade data and documents to the komgo customer banks of their choice.”

Bitcoin blockchain offer banks potential but HFT give benefits now
Some industry highlights from the article below
-
Last spring, automated market maker and Modern Markets Initiative (MMI) member firm GTS agreed to buy Barclays Plc’s Designated Market Marker (DMM) business on the New York Stock Exchange floor, giving the firm responsibility to oversee trading for more than 1,200 blue chip securities. Following this transaction, GTS is leveraging these corporate relationships to partner with banks, helping them to trade in other asset classes such as foreign exchange.
-
Credit Suisse Group’s Wake USA formed a partnership with MMI member firm Tower Research Capital. That arrangement allows the Swiss bank to leverage Tower’s technology platform to manage its customer-facing electronic rates business.
-
And recently, Virtu Financial Inc, another global electronic market maker, announced a three-year agreement with JP Morgan Chase & Co. to help the bank trade more efficiently in the US treasury market.

For students like Sun Jiaxuan at the National University of Singapore, the future of finance is all about high-frequency trading firms, not the Wall Street banks that graduates once aspired to. Recruiters from DRW Holdings LLC, a Chicago firm that’s expanding in Asia, found that out last month when they visited the school.

From Bloomberg, Feb 7, 2016, 7:15:00 PM
Charlie Stenger, a currency-broker-turned-recruiter, has seen it all. One fired trader wept in his office. Another admitted he hadn’t told his wife he was unemployed, and left the house every day in a suit to sneak off to a coffee shop. Then there are the delusional guys, who carefully explain how they’re not interested in jobs that don’t pay as well as those they just lost.

As they say, cry me a frigging river!
“The business has to be downsized,” said Keith Underwood, a foreign-exchange consultant who ended a 25-year trading career, including at Lloyds Banking Group Plc, in 2014. But it’s not easy “for people who have been in a market for many, many years to see that they’ve been replaced by an algorithm.”
Humans are up against formidable opponents across the industry. Take Virtu Financial Inc. Deploying sophisticated technology in the business, the company’s computers can trade more than 11,000 securities and other products on more than 225 trading platforms in 35 countries. Because automation is so deeply ingrained in its business, it had only about 150 employees last year — generating more than $5 million per worker.
ADAPT OR DIE!
