Executive Summary

No true securities market currently exists for cryptocurrencies, even though the existing

1000+ coins represent over $200 Billion in combined market cap. Earning interest on

existing crypto-assets, or paying interest to borrow, is nearly impossible. Nor are there

futures or other derivatives which could be used to hedge risk. Along with accelerating

the crypto-economy’s growth, a fixed income market can provide liquidity and

predictable cash flow in the traditionally volatile cryptocurrency markets.
