ICYMI: @BridgePortMQ, the middleware coordination layer for institutional crypto, today announced that it’s piloting the Digital Asset Master Agreement, a common legal standard for Off-Exchange Settlement relationships between trading firms, custodians, and exchanges. DAMA takes inspiration from the role that master agreements have played in established financial markets, like the ISDA for derivatives. Typical OES agreements can take months to negotiate because each relationship may involve different custody structure or regulatory obligations, and DAMA is designed to provide a common set of definitions and provisions while preserving the ability to configure the terms for individual counterparties.

RT @johnjdagostino: @andrewrsorkin and @JoeSquawk bring me back to my big Italian Thanksgiving dinners. Everyone's yelling. But problems get solved that way + good information comes out. Much better than the alternative. Always love the invite to @SquawkCNBC and wouldn't change a thing. And thanks to @BeckyQuick for keeping it calm and bringing the intellectual firepower.
