The EU and US Officials Boast Enhanced Capital Markets Oversight

Regulators from the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) have come together to discuss deeper oversight of their respective capital markets. The discussions were held as part of the US-EU Joint Regulatory Forum in February, and representatives from the European Commission, the European Banking Authority, and the European Securities and Markets Authority met with delegates from the US Department of the Treasury and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In the EU, the regulatory framework for capital markets oversight is primarily governed by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), which supervises securities markets and ensures their orderly functioning. ESMA also monitors market abuse and works to promote investor protection. Meanwhile, in the US, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is the primary regulator of the securities markets. It regulates securities offerings, exchanges, and other actions related to the purchasing and selling of securities.

The EU and US regulators are looking to deepen the capital markets oversight to increase financial stability and ensure investor protection. Sustainability, dangers to financial stability, operational resilience, and the regulation of digital finance and capital markets are some of their top concerns. Additionally, there are ongoing discussions about the transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), which is set to be discontinued at the end of 2021. Given the widespread use of LIBOR as a benchmark for financial contracts, the transition away from it is a significant challenge that requires close coordination and supervision.

If you need some ideas about what to read next, here they are:

The regulators from the EU and the US reaffirmed throughout the meetings that they support the standards established by the International Sustainability Standards Board, exhibiting a joint commitment to advancing sustainable finance. They also held talks on possible crypto-asset enforcement, highlighting the need to address the risks associated with cryptocurrencies.

The EU presented progress on implementing the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation and developing European Sustainability Reporting Standards, as mandated under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. The SEC staff also discussed the SEC’s proposals to enhance disclosures regarding issuers’ climate-related risks and disclosures by certain funds and investment advisers regarding ESG practices, further underlining the importance of sustainability in the regulatory development landscape.

The discussions also touched on operational resilience, an increasingly important issue in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The regulators discussed ways to ensure that capital markets remain resilient in the face of operational disruptions.

In addition to these issues, the European Commission provided updates on the review of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive and Regulation and laws surrounding alternative investment funds and traditional Ucits funds. The SEC staff also updated their recent proposed rules and amendments related to investment funds and equity market structures.

Divakar Choudhary

Divakar Choudhary is the founder and CEO of Secvolt who has been trading for more than six years now. He started the business in 2018 with the conviction that if anybody could dominate the market, it was him. He poured all of himself into the business and turned Secvolt into a market-beating machine.

Divakar developed the fundamental quant models that perform risk management and capture alpha using his skills from the previous organization and his time spent in the market. In order to make the system effective, he backtested risk mitigation algorithms and worked on them for more than 4 years to produce results.

Early Years

He began his crypto journey in 2013 after getting his first gaming Laptop and melded in with the Blockchain community like sunbeams on the ocean. He created many YouTube channels at the age of 15 and businesses by the time he was 17. Technology has always piqued Divakar’s interest. He endeavored and succeeded at freelancing in his effort to achieve financial independence. However, he soon realized that freelancing would always keep him in the rat race, and the only way out would be to build a machine yielding generational wealth.

Soon, he started trading using his own capital but suffered a loss in the market. He says, “95% of people lose money & the rest 5% make money from the loss of those 95%.” He then began working on an effective technique to be included in this 5% after losing part of his own assets during the early stages of trading. He began evaluating quant strategies using statistical models.

With his methodology, he once produced a 20% ROI in a single month. With the zeal of creating something exceptional, he borrowed money from friends and family and generated decent returns for them using primitive quant models. Month after month, the system’s efficiency and the competence of the man behind it allowed for excellent market returns.

In the beginning, Divakar worked on his laptop for over 18 hours. It took every ounce of his energy as he executed about 530+ deals daily for 4 years to create this company from the ground up. In 2021, he increased his volume by 827%, trading a total of $52 million and hitting a single account.

In his words-

“What does becoming “THAT” GUY mean to you? Who did you need when you were young? Be that person!”

He is a perfect example of someone who followed his passion and made a fortune from it! He dreamt of creating generational wealth as a youngster, envisioned it as an adult, and is now making it a reality with Secvolt!
