Since a decision was made to create semi-annual reports, the CMSIG will be creating new bi-annual reports from now on.
This is a DRAFT- out for community review.
Special Interest Group
Capital Markets Special Interest Group (CMSIG)
CMSIG Overall Health
The CMSIG meetings are held every two weeks and are generally well-attended. Meeting topics and guest speakers drive attendance. We launched and created eThaler in Hyperledger labs, which is now being extended. A widespread demo is planned. The CMSIG projects are now proposing a new lab for cross chain settlement.
Issues
We have a diverse set of members and have had success with some great presentations. We have the challenge of gender and location diversity.
Overall Activity in the Past Quarter
The CMSIG is very well attended. Some of the notable presentations and projects include
- Debt Capital Markets : Current pain points in bond issuance and potential Blockchain application.
- Matrix of regulations for dlts by country.
- Equities- Financial Market Infrastructure and the future role of DLTs
- eThaler a Hyperledger lab, with frequent status reports, delivered a working version, modeling from TTF to ERC1155 in Besu- focus on standards.
- Smart Contracts for securitization: sc templates processes around analytics and securitization in general for all participants (Rating Agencies, Regulators, Investors, Trustees and servicers)
Planned Work Products
Expand on eThaler in conversations, UI and other extensions.

Participant Diversity
This is a very diverse membership with global representation (including, but not limited to, member participation from China, West Coast US, England, Canada, Switzerland, India, and the EU). Gender diversity is still lacking.
