BNC BLUE-CHIP DEFI ETP CONSTITUENTS

The exact constituents and weights can be viewed on our web-site.

BNC Blue-Chip DeFi ETP (Exchange Traded Portfolio) is a physical representation of the BNC Blue-Chip DeFi Index, issued on Balancer Protocol. The ETP mimics the constitution and weights of the index. It is rebalanced in alignment with the index, providing traders an opportunity to get non-synthetic exposure to the assets that are made up of the index, and/or speculate on arbitrage between the price parity of the index-powered perpetual swaps and the spot market for ETP.

BNC Blue-Chip DeFi Index tracks the real-time market performance of the largest DeFi assets. Launched in September 2020, this institutional-grade index product is the first in the world to track DeFi assets across multiple pricing sources, at sub second frequency. The index has a maximum basket size of 8 assets and is rebalanced quarterly based on a free float market capitalization weighting with a cap of 25%.

Thesis. Decentralised Finance (DeFi) is an open-source and transparent financial service ecosystem that represents a broad category of applications built on decentralised networks. DeFi leverages decentralised networks to transform legacy banking services and financial products into trustless and transparent protocols that can run without intermediaries. Some of these products and services include decentralised marketplaces & exchanges, asset issuance, insurance, checking accounts, investment services, borrowing and lending, asset management and prediction markets.BNC Blue-Chip DeFi ETP is exactly like the index, but physically holds onto the underlying assets in a non-custodial way, powered by Balancer.

Exchange-Traded Portfolios are a weighted and indexed representation of DeFi tokens.

Underlying. Each ETP is a passive portfolio that holds a weighted basket of physical tokens.

Constituents are selected, bundled and weighted according to the IOSCO-compliant methodology, designed by BraveNewCoin.

Primary Issuance. ETPs are issued on Balancer Protocol.

Secondary Trading. When listed ETPs shares can be traded on AMMs, DEXs, and CEXs.

Perpetual Swaps that track the exact same indices are also available on selected DEXs and CEXs.

Reconstitution & Rebalancing

Governance & Corporate Actions

Primary Issuance takes place on Balancer. A deposit is made to a portfolio of assets via either multiple or single assets deposit. Upon deposit, a tokenised unit of the portfolio is credited to your wallet, representing your pro-rata ownership claim on the underlying.

ETP MANAGEMENT

Review of Constituents Weights is done monthly by the BNC Index committee.

Constant-Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI). Upon review, the committee discretionarily decides on which tokens to sell assets as they fall, and which to buy as they rise. Reason being is that in the longer-run, the market diverts widely from the entry point, i.e. depreciate or appreciate greatly.

Dynamic Rebalancing for this ETP is turned off, so not to run the Constant-Mix Strategy as in typical Balancer portfolios. The index-tracked market is not considered as a mean-reverting market.

HOW ETPs WORK 1/3

Powered by Balancer

Extra Yield

Each ETP generates additional yield via swapping fees and liquidity mining rewards/subsidies (e.g. $BAL token).

24/7 Reporting

Balancer allows for real-time tracking of the ETP’s performance - including full visibility over the current weighting and size of each assets, total trading volume done by the ETP, executed transactions, current holders and their stake, liquidity etc.

Deposits and Withdrawals

Deposit and withdrawals from the ETP can be made either via multi-assets or a single-asset.

In case of a single-asset deposit, Balancer will exchange your asset on pro-rata basis to match the underlying basket.

Tokenised Shares of the ETP

Each ETP is wrapped into an ERC-20 token, which represent your pro-rata share of exposure to the underlying (think: direct ownership of your share in a portfolio). This token is issued to the investor and can be used on secondary markets (trading, borrow & lending, etc).

*Note: Gas fees are an independent variable of the Ethereum network, determined by the network usage at the time of the transaction. Gas fees are reflective of the complexity of smart contracts that the transaction is interacting with. However, network fees DO NOT depend of the size of the transaction in the sense that $1-dollar transfer typically costs as

much as $1 million-dollar transfer. Therefore, it might make smaller-size transfers economically inexpedient to execute.

$5 TRILLION CASE FOR DEFI

1 Jan 2022

Decentralised Finance (DeFi), aka Open Finance, is an ecosystem of blockchain-powered applications that are recreating common trading instruments from traditional finance. Run by programmable algorithmic code, DeFi removes middlemen, connecting principals directly. DeFi reduces friction and capital inefficiency, hence offering the possibility of higher yields. DeFi money markets offer instruments that can provide lower risk profiles and greater liquidity.

How is it Different from Traditional Finance? DeFi is a self-running, self-adjusting peer-to-peer market based on data-driven automation and open access. DeFi eliminates a need for an intermediary, hence eliminating traditional bottlenecks such as central and commercial banks, brokers, clearing houses, etc.

Software replaces intermediary to ensure

transactions validity and assets storage. At all time you are in control of your

funds, not the bank.

NON-CUSTODIAL Anyone with Internet can

access the systems. Anyone can audit and verify the code and the

asset ledger.

PERMISSIONLESS

Plug & play architecture. DeFi apps are created and

combined at a very low cost.

PROGRAMMABLEBlockchains are

transparent and auditable. Anyone can check

transaction history and see where the funds are.

TRANSPARENT

WHAT IS “DEFI”?

20

How Big is the Opportunity?What is the Economic Benefit?

There’s no central party controlling how and who can use DeFi apps, hence no rent-reeking. With no barriers to trade, the market is truly free and evolves rapidly.

All fees and yield are distributed between DeFi market participants: buyers & sellers, borrowers & lenders, market makers & liquidators, etc. Each party is incentivised to be a good actor via revenue sharing and penalised for bad behavior (e.g. liquidation fees, slashing).

No fractional reserve, no money printing. DeFi is measured by the value and the quality of the collateral that is deposited in the ecosystem. Collateral is currently represented by digital assets such as ETH, BTC, USDC, etc, but the mid-term goal is to use real-world assets, expressed in a digital format (i.e. tokenised).

DEFI IS A NATURAL EVOLUTION OF FINANCIAL SYSTEMS

DeFi is growing fast with the total value of the ecosystem currently sitting at around $25Bil as of Jan 2021 .

It is expected to reach $200Bil by YE’21, and $1Tril by 2022.
