ESMA and India’s SEBI sign MoU on oversight of central counterparties

The European Securities and Markets Authority, or ESMA, has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Securities and Exchange Board of India, or SEBI, to support cooperation and information sharing on the recognition and supervision of Indian central counterparties (CCPs). The agreement adds to an earlier MoU signed this year between ESMA and the Reserve Bank of India and is aimed at restoring access by EU clearing members to Indian CCPs. Under the arrangement, CCPs established in India and supervised by SEBI will be able to reapply for ESMA recognition under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation, or EMIR. ESMA also said it will keep talking with the International Financial Services Centres Authority, or IFSCA, in an effort to reach a similar cooperation arrangement.

Jio Platforms cleared to move ahead with IPO after SEBI approval; company previously launched Polygon-based JioCoin

Jio Platforms, the digital and telecom unit of Reliance Industries controlled by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, has received regulatory clearance to move forward with its long-awaited initial public offering. According to the website of the Securities and Exchange Board of India, or SEBI, the regulator issued an observation letter to Jio Platforms during the week ending Aug. 28, clearing a key hurdle in the IPO process. Bloomberg was cited as the source of the report. Jio Platforms has also drawn attention in crypto circles because the company launched JioCoin last year, a rewards token built on the Polygon blockchain. Community users have said the token has been integrated into JioSphere, Jio’s web browser. The development links one of India’s most closely watched listing candidates with a blockchain-based product already associated with its broader digital ecosystem.
