Exclusive-India’s Snapdeal to shelve $152 million IPO amid tech stocks rout

 

MUMBAI (Reuters) – SoftBank-backed Indian e-commerce firm Snapdeal has decided to pull the plug on its $152 million IPO, the company told Reuters, making it the latest casualty of a meltdown in tech stocks that has soured investor sentiment.

Snapdeal filed its initial public offering (IPO) regulatory papers for approval in December 2021, a year that saw many stock market debuts and record fund raising by Indian startups. But many are delaying IPOs amid a stock market rout that has raised concerns over frothy tech valuations.

Snapdeal, which competes with larger rivals Amazon and Walmart's Flipkart in India's booming e-commerce space, filed a request this week with the country's market regulator SEBI to withdraw its IPO prospectus, said one source with direct knowledge of the matter.

"There is no appetite for tech stocks right now," said the source, who added that SEBI has been told about the prevailing market conditions and certain other strategic decisions that contributed to the change in IPO plans.

In a statement to Reuters, Snapdeal said it has decided to withdraw the IPO prospectus "considering the prevailing market conditions", without elaborating. It adding that Snapdeal may reconsider an IPO in future depending on its need for capital and market conditions.

New Delhi-based Snapdeal was started in 2010 by Wharton alumnus Kunal Bahl and Indian Institute of Technology graduate Rohit Bansal. The company says it caters to the so-called value e-commerce segment by selling "value-for-money", or more affordable products via its shopping website and app.

Valued at $6.5 billion in 2016, Snapdeal has seen its popularity dwindle over the years as competition increased. It has recorded losses in the last three financial years between 2019 and 2021, and was hoping to raise new funds via IPO at a valuation of $1 billion.

The change of Snapdeal's plans comes as tech stocks in India that listed in recent years face investors' wrath.

Shares in Indian digital payments firm Paytm, which raised $2.5 billion in one of the country's biggest ever IPOs in November 2021, have plunged 76% since their debut.

Food delivery firm Zomato's shares have halved from their all-time highs after listing in July 2021.

In August, TPG and Prosus-funded Indian online pharmcy PharmEasy withdrew papers for its $760 million IPO, while Warburg Pincus-backed seller of wireless earphones, boAT Lifestyle, also withdrew its papers in October.

The first source added that Snapdeal's has not decided on any new timeline for when it may refile its IPO.

Snapdeal had wanted to fund organic growth initiatives with the proceeds of its IPO, which was set to include a fresh issue of shares worth 12.5 billion rupees ($152 million) and an offer for sale of 30.8 million shares.

Investors SoftBank, Sequoia Capital and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board had offered to sell a part of their stakes in the IPO.

Blockchain, Crypto, and DeFi Technology Patent Law – The National Law Review

Thursday, December 8, 2022

The proliferation of blockchain, cryptocurrency, and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications in recent years has been accompanied by a surge in patent filings worldwide by blockchain tech developers. And, despite some early reluctance of national patent offices to recognize the patentability of these emerging technologies, many national patent law and patent application examination regulations have been revised in recent years to recognize their patentability. This has resulted in thousands of patents being granted worldwide for blockchain, crypto, and DeFi inventions.

A blockchain was created as a transaction ledger for the bitcoin cryptocurrency. Historically, the patent laws in most countries have deemed fintech inventions as patent ineligible business methods for lacking sufficient technical features and being merely mental processes, mathematical formulas, or methods for organizing human activity. However, a blockchain is inherently a technological system. It is a distributed ledger that consists of a growing list of electronic records that are securely linked together using cryptography and managed by a peer-to-peer computer network.

As the popularity of blockchain technology has grown and its application has expanded from the fintech sector to other industries, such as healthcare, transportation, big data, cybersecurity, and consumer electronics patent application filings for blockchain-based inventions skyrocketed worldwide. Recognizing the economic importance of blockchain technology and its inherent technical nature, many national patent offices have also revised their patent laws and examination regulations to ease the eligible subject matter threshold for blockchain inventions.

The following is a survey of national patent laws and regulations pertaining to the examination of blockchain, crypto, and DeFi technologies in the most popular patent filing jurisdictions:

United States

The United States has historically been one of the most patent friendly countries in the world. Not surprisingly, the earliest patents for blockchain inventions were granted in the US due to the strict interpretation of patent eligible subject matter defined in 35 USC 101 with respect to software and business methods, in which blockchain applications are typically classified, and the confusion caused by several different tests for patent eligibility promulgated by courts, prosecution of blockchain applications at the US Patent Office became quite challenging.

Recognizing these problems, the Patent Office published the 2019 Revised Patent Subject Matter Eligibility Guidance (here is our analysis of the guidance), which provided a structured framework for evaluating software and business methods. The guidance effectively eased the scrutiny with which blockchain-related applications were treated with and provided clarity as to patent eligibility criteria for crypto, DeFi, and fintech inventions. Currently, there are nearly 30,000 patent applications and over 10,000 patents in the US for blockchain-based inventions.

China

Due to rapid growth of crypto mining farms, e-commerce business, and fintech start-ups in China, the number of patent applications for blockchain, crypto, and DeFi inventions has exploded in recent years. Some of China’s largest e-commerce and Internet companies, such as Alibaba Group and Tencent Holdings, lead the world with thousands of granted blockchain patents.

Recognizing the importance of blockchain and fintech technologies to its economy, the Chinese government called for corporations to accelerate development of blockchain technologies in 2019. Later that year, the National Intellectual Property Administration (NIPA) in China further revised its patent examination guidelines to include examples of blockchain methods – further easing the examination process for blockchain technology applicants. Currently, there are nearly 35,000 applications and about 9,000 patents in China for blockchain, crypto, and DeFi inventions.

Europe

The European Union has traditionally been more challenging than the United States and China in its treatment of business-related inventions. The European Patent Office (EPO), according to guidelines in section G-VII, 5, deems an application patentable if its claims define a technical solution to a technical problem, and make non-obvious technical contributions over the prior art. The EPO recognizes that a blockchain is a multi-disciplinary technology and that patent applications may include claim features related to networks, computing, and communications – typically deemed “technical” – and claim features related to mathematics and business methods – typically deemed “non-technical.” Accordingly, to improve chances of obtaining a patent in Europe, applications for blockchain, crypto, or DeFi solutions should minimize their focus on non-technical features and emphasize technical aspects of the invention. To date, approximately 2000 European applications have been filed for blockchain technologies, and about 500 patents have been granted.

Japan

While business methods in Europe are not given much favor, the Japanese Patent Office (JPO) is relatively lenient for these types of applications. Despite the Japanese Patent Act following a similar framework as the EPO guidelines in terms of distinguishing technical and non-technical features, the Japanese allowance rate for business-related inventions, which umbrella blockchain-related inventions, is over 50%. This does not mean that any blockchain-related application is automatically patent eligible in Japan. For example, the data within a blockchain is unpatentable. However, a device, a method, and/or a program for implementing a process using blockchain/crypto is generally considered patent eligible by the JPO. To date, there are approximately 1700 patents in Japan for blockchain, crypto, and DeFi inventions.

South Korea

Similar to Japan and China, South Korean patent laws view blockchain-based technology quite favorably. In accordance with Article 29(1), Article 29(1)ii, and Article 29(2) of the Korean Patent Act, both blockchain core technology and application technology are patentable. Core technology covers the transmissions or transactions of data involving the use of blockchain/crypto and application technology covers the use of blockchain networks in the context of finance, security, cryptocurrencies, etc. Because both aspects of blockchain technology are deemed patent eligible, South Korea is generally a favorable country for blockchain, crypto, and DeFi patent applications. It is thus not surprising that the number of patent filings in South Korea has grown exponentially from several dozen blockchain-related patent applications in 2015 to nearly 1500 applications in 2019. 

Blockchain, crypto, and DeFi technologies provide ample opportunity for innovation as evidenced by thousands of patent applications filed worldwide for these cutting-edge technologies. The rapidly growing number of patents issued for these technologies in the United States, China, Japan, South Korea, and even Europe indicate that the majority of patent filing jurisdictions look favorably on the patentability of blockchain-based technologies. However, to maximize the chances of obtaining a patent for these technologies, inventors and their patent attorneys should be aware of different patent eligibility requirements and standards of various national patent offices and employ correct patent application drafting and prosecution strategies.

Crypto lender BlockFi files for bankruptcy, cites FTX exposure – Times of India

 

Cryptocurrency lender BlockFi has filed for Chapter 11 chapter safety, it mentioned on Monday, the newest trade casualty after the agency was damage by exposure to the spectacular collapse of the FTX change earlier this month.

In a courtroom submitting on Monday, BlockFi listed FTX as its second-largest creditor, with $275 million owed on a mortgage prolonged earlier this yr. It mentioned it owes cash to greater than 100,000 collectors. The firm additionally mentioned in a separate submitting it plans to put off two-thirds of its 292 workers.
Under a deal signed with FTX in July BlockFi was to obtain a $400 million revolving credit score facility whereas FTX received an choice to purchase it for as much as $240 million.
BlockFi’s chapter submitting additionally comes after two of BlockFi’s largest rivals, Celsius Network and Voyager Digital, filed for chapter in July, citing excessive market situations that had led to losses at each corporations.
Crypto lenders, the de facto banks of the crypto world, boomed in the course of the pandemic, attracting retail prospects with double-digit charges in return for their cryptocurrency deposits.
Crypto lenders aren’t required to carry capital or liquidity buffers like conventional lenders and a few discovered themselves uncovered when a scarcity of collateral compelled them – and their prospects – to shoulder massive losses.
BlockFi’s first chapter listening to is scheduled to happen on Tuesday. FTX didn’t reply to a request for remark.
Creditor record
BlockFi’s largest creditor is Ankura Trust, which represents collectors in pressured conditions and is owed $729 million. Valar Ventures, a Peter Thiel-linked enterprise capital fund, owns 19% of BlockFi fairness shares.
BlockFi additionally listed the US Securities and Exchange Commission as one of its largest collectors, with a $30 million declare. In February, a BlockFi subsidiary agreed to pay $100 million to the SEC and 32 states to settle fees in reference to a retail crypto lending product the corporate provided to just about 600,000 traders.
Bain Capital Ventures and Tiger Global co-led BlockFi’s March 2021 funding spherical, BlockFi mentioned in a press launch issued on the time. Both companies didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark.
In a weblog put up, BlockFi mentioned its Chapter 11 instances will allow the corporate to stabilize its enterprise and maximize worth for all stakeholders.
“Acting in the best interest of our clients is our top priority and continues to guide our path forward,” BlockFi mentioned.
In its chapter submitting, BlockFi mentioned it had employed Kirkland & Ellis and Haynes & Boone as chapter counsel.
BlockFi had earlier paused withdrawals from its platform.
In a submitting, Renzi mentioned Blockfi intends to hunt authority to honor shopper withdrawal requests from its buyer pockets accounts, through which crypto property are held in custody. However, the corporate didn’t disclose plans for the way it may deal with withdrawal requests from its different merchandise, together with curiosity-bearing accounts.
“BlockFi clients may ultimately recover a substantial portion of their investments,” Renzi mentioned within the submitting.
Origins
BlockFi was based in 2017 by Prince, at the moment the corporate’s chief government officer, and Flori Marquez. Though headquartered in Jersey City, BlockFi additionally has places of work in New York, Singapore, Poland and Argentina, in keeping with its web site.
In July, Prince had tweeted that “it’s time to stop putting BlockFi in the same bucket / sentence as Voyager and Celsius.”
“Two months ago we looked the ‘same.’ They shut down and have impending losses for their clients,” he mentioned.
According to a profile of BlockFi revealed earlier this yr by Inc, Prince was raised in San Antonio, Texas, and financed his faculty schooling on the University of Oklahoma and Texas State University with winnings from on-line poker tournaments. Before beginning BlockFi with Marquez, he held jobs at Orchard Platform, a dealer seller, and at Zibby, a lease-to-personal lender now referred to as Katapult.

3 Trends for the Cryptocurrency Market in 2023

Three categories may be highlight of 2023 as they are focused on solving this year’s big issues

 

Guessing what trends to expect next in the crypto world is not an easy task. Therefore, today we are going to analyze the sectors that may stand out in 2023. It is important to note that this content is not a recommendation to buy or sell any cryptocurrency.

Layer 0

Indeed, this is one of the areas of greatest interest to large investors and developers.

Layer 0 solutions were developed for the blockchain market to allow the interoperability and construction of blockchains with specific characteristics without the need for a centralizing protocol.

Layer 0 solutions allow the interoperability and construction of blockchains with specific characteristics without the need for a centralizing protocol.

Furthermore, Layer 0 manages to bring security while improving the user experience in the world of smart contracts. We cannot fail to point out that by communication with different networks, the user ends up paying a lot of fees, reducing his profit on a transaction.

Despite the dramatic price drop seen on the crypto market this year, resources through the blockchain remain in high demand. If they remain the same, Layer 0 solutions will grow accordingly.
 

Benefits:

  • Reduces costs;
  • Eliminates intermediation;
  • Increases security; 
  • Complement Layer 1 and Layer 2.

Two notable examples of Layer 0 are Polkadot (DOT) and Cosmos (ATOM).

DeFi

With the bankruptcy of FTX, decentralized finance may gain even more space in 2023. Although this environment still lacks good user experience, investors who felt – and are still feeling – the ripple effects of Sam Bankman-Fried’s exchange on their loans and centralized income, may prefer to study a little more and venture into this sector.

Decentralized finance has the benefit of working through smart contracts. Developers can always audit their operations and bring information to investors if a DEX (decentralized exchange) or lending platform is working perfectly, as everything is recorded on the blockchain.

Furthermore, the fact that the user does not have to relinquish custody of their assets could be a crucial factor for more attention being focused on decentralized finance. The solutions being prepared by decentralized oracles to make DeFi even more attractive could also boost this sector in the coming year.

Benefits: 

  • Permissionless;
  • Has immutability; 
  • Much more transparent than centralized platforms; 
  • Easy access to tokenization.

Chainlink (LINK) and Uniswap (UNI) are the highlights of the DeFi sector.

Bitcoin

That’s right, the primary cryptocurrency cannot be left off of our list. When it comes to security, no blockchain asset has managed to prove such strength in this area.

The capitalization loss did not cause Bitcoin’s fundamentals to change. Miners continued validating transactions and the BTC network fee reached historic levels even as the cryptocurrency price failed to respond.

Bitcoin was the only cryptocurrency to be championed 100% by blockchain investors after the FTX collapse, and it further strengthened the sentiment of maximalism around it. True decentralization is found in BTC and, therefore, it is still a great response to all the crashes that occurred in 2022. It remains a great alternative to projects with a high degree of centralization.

Terra Classic (LUNC) and FTT are examples of what it is like to create money out of thin air and without value. Bitcoin displays exactly the opposite – money that comes from proof of work and brings with it the value of financial empowerment.

FTX collapse won’t impact everyday use of crypto in Brazil: Transfero CEO

 

The crumbling of the FTX crypto empire may have damaged Brazilian retail and institutional sentiment toward crypto. However, its impact won’t affect everyday citizens — who will still use crypto for cross-border transactions.

Reflecting on the recent fall of FTX, Thiago César, the CEO of fiat on-ramp provider Transfero Group said that the exchange’s fall, like in many countries around the world, has hurt confidence around centralized crypto exchanges and crypto in general. 

Transfero Group is tied in closely with the Brazilian crypto ecosystem and FTX as it was the fiat on-and-off-ramp provider for the exchange and is also the issuer of Brazilian Stablecoin BRZ, which was listed on the now-defunct exchange.

César told Cointelegraph that the collapse of the exchange had removed a “big liquidity source” from the market, as FTX was ranked within the top three in terms of trading volume. 

He also noted that uncertainty surrounding centralized crypto exchanges caused a “big outflow of funds” from exchanges in Brazil, with many looking into self-custody — estimating at least 20% of trading volume has been lost on exchanges so far.

“A lot of people are trying to even liquidate whatever positions they have in crypto and we just hold money in the bank account.”

César noted the FTX saga will make crypto investment a “harder sell” for new investors and traders.

“For the crypto investor/trader of course. It’s a harder sell now. If you go to a person who is not crypto savvy and you try to convince him to invest, especially in Brazil — the population has always been very skeptical of crypto. Now it’s harder,” he said. 

However, he notes that for people that use crypto as a means for cross-border payments or the “internationalization of money,” there will unlikely be any impact from the FTX collapse.

“A lot of the crypto volume in Brazil derives from players that are willing to exchange their local currency into an internationally liquid asset denominated in dollars. So in that sense, the market will not die down because crypto is just rails for that.”

In October, a report from Chainalysis found that remittance payments and battling inflation were two of the most significant drivers of crypto adoption in Latin America.

Related: Brazilian SEC seeks to change its role in cryptocurrency regulation

César said the FTX collapse will likely be used by local exchanges “as a lobbying tool” to push for regulations aimed at bringing international exchanges in line.

César added that these crypto exchanges had been pushing for regulation in Brazil that would “segregate” local and international exchanges by taking away international exchange’s access to their global liquidity books.

“They were proposing that regulation would enforce for example, that liquidity on the books in Brazilian reais be segregated from international books.”

César explained that such regulation would hurt international exchanges as their main advantage comes from liquid, international global books.

In a Nov. 18 report from Reuters, Roberto Dagnoni, the executive chairman and CEO of Mercado Bitcoin said crypto laws in Brazil have been “kind of dormant” during the election period but now needed priority.

“The rules that currently exist have not been applicable to some players, so they can do whatever you want,” he said.

FTX is done — What’s next for Bitcoin, altcoins and crypto in general?

 

2022 was a tough year for crypto, and November was especially hard on investors and traders alike. 

While it was incredibly painful for many, FTX’s blowup and the ensuing contagion that threatens to pull other centralized crypto exchanges down with it could be positive over the long run.

Allow me to explain.

What people learned, albeit in the hardest way possible, is that exchanges were running fractional reserve-like banks to fund their own speculative, leveraged investments in exchange for providing users with a “guaranteed” yield.

Somewhere across the crypto Twitterverse, the phrase “If you don’t know where the yield comes from, you are the yield!” is floating around.

This was true for decentralized finance (DeFi), and it’s proven true for centralized crypto exchanges and platforms, too.

Who would have known that a few ill-timed bank runs would pull down the entire house of cards by proving that while exchanges appear to have high revenue and tons of tokens on their books, many are completely unable to meet user withdrawal requests?

They took your coins and collateralized them to fund highly speculative bets.

They locked your coins in centralized DeFi platforms to earn yield, some of which they promised to share with you.

They placed user funds, along with their own reserves, into illiquid assets that were hard to convert into stablecoins, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) when clients and platform users wanted to access their funds.

Not your keys, not your coins.

Never has the phrase rang truer.

Let’s explore a few things that are happening in the crypto market this week.

Investors withdrew a record number of coins from exchanges to self-custody

As Cointelegraph reported earlier this week, crypto investors panic-withdrew record amounts of Bitcoin, Ether and stablecoins from exchanges.

Separate reporting cited a sharp uptick in hardware wallet sales as investors realized the importance of self-custodying their portfolios.

If the number of insolvencies and “temporarily pausing of deposits and withdrawals” messages continue to pop up over the next few weeks, it seems likely that this trend of coins leaving exchanges and popping into hardware wallets will continue.

DEXs and DeFi saw an uptick in inflows, perhaps a sign of things to come

Cointelegraph also reported on the uptick in decentralized exchange (DEX) activity and inflow to DeFi occurring concurrently with the record outflows from exchanges. After the events of the past two weeks, trust in centralized exchanges and crypto companies could be broken, and the current and next wave of crypto investors could embrace the more Web3-focused DEX and DeFi protocols.

Of course, what DeFi and DEXs need are a more transparent framework and processes that ensure user funds are safe and being used “properly.”

A steady flow of bad news could present a nice opportunity

Currently, Ether’s price looks a bit soft from a technical analysis standpoint, and the recent news about the FTX thief holding the 31st largest Ether spot position, plus concerns over censorship, centralization, the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control enforcement on this “whale” and other Ethereum-based protocols that have exposure or bankruptcy proximity to FTX and Alameda could stir up a bit of FUD that impacts the altcoin’s price action.

Uncertainty on when the Shanghai upgrade will be enacted and investor concerns about when staked coins can actually be withdrawn are also interesting conversations that could turn short-term sentiment against Ether.

The thesis is pretty simple. ETH has held support around $1,200–$1,300 pretty well through all of the previous months of bearish market developments, but will the potential challenges mentioned above lead to a test of the level again?

Stakers are essentially spot long and earning yield, so at this juncture, opening a low-level short position with taking profits orders at $700–$600 could possibly be rewarding.

Benefits of a Mezzanine Office

There are many reasons why a mezzanine office can be beneficial for your company. Adding an office to warehouse mezzanine floors can provide additional space for employees to meet and work. 

These spaces can also reduce the amount of noise made in the office or warehouse. Mezzanine offices also provide more privacy for employees and make it easier to communicate with them. 

If you want some privacy for your training, then offices on warehouse mezzanine floors are the perfect solution, especially when they develop new products or services.

What Are the Advantages of Mezzanine Offices?

A mezzanine office can be an excellent option for businesses that need to maximise their space, but aren’t sure how the additional space will benefit them.

When you have a mezzanine office, you will have the opportunity to increase your productivity. The higher vantage point can give you an advantageous view of your coworkers, so you can keep track of their work as you work on your own jobs. Additionally, the privacy and quiet of the office space allows you to focus on important, and at times urgent, tasks.

Another key benefit is that you can save money on your utilities bills as you use less floor space. When you move into a mezzanine office, you can reduce the use of other electronic appliances and essentials on lower floors. 

A Safe Space to Communicate

No matter how many floors you have in your warehouse, it’s important that the space is large enough to comfortably fit all staff members and any additional visitors. Additionally, the mezzanine space should be big enough to promote ease of movement between multiple people or machinery. 

The warehouse space should be accessible and comfortable for employees to use, both during their workday and during breaks. The space should also feel like an extension of the company’s head office, providing a place where employees can relax and connect with one another.

Size Matters

If you’re considering a warehouse mezzanine floor that fits your needs, then size is of the essence. A mezzanine office can become an essential part of your business, and a proper design can help create a more efficient and organised space. By finding the right mezzanine floor, you can make sure that your business functions smoothly and efficiently.

When choosing how big you want your office, then measure up! It’s important that you have accurate measurements of the intended size of your office. During this process, consider how many people you want to fit as well as the size of any office furniture that you may require. 

The type of flooring is another key aspect you should consider. Some popular options include rubber or carpeted floors. If you choose to use rubber or carpeted floors, be sure to measure and select the correct type of flooring for your space.
