Arifa Khan, CEO will present Capital Coin

Arifa Khan, a former investment banker with Credit Suisse and UBS has embarked on her global DGCAMP tour to disrupt traditional Investment Banking industry with Blockchain and Smart Contract led Fintech Innovation. She is Ethereum India Partner.

Through the DGCAMP platform, she intends to bring transparency to the global capital market ecosystem which would empower both asset issuers and investors to discover and conduct transactions in a transparent manner. This would shake up the $66 trillion-dollar global securities market backed by cozy investment bankers.

The innovation would usher a beginning of a new era with no role for intermediaries. The platform would knit a core blockchain led infrastructure that would open immense possibilities - Digital IPO, Start-ups raising Venture and Private Equity capital, Corporate Bond Issuance, M&A’s and Cross-Border Transactions, Governments issuing Treasuries and other infrastructure bonds – that without paying a hefty fee to Investment Banks!

The technology driven platform would open a channel for the best minds in Asset Management and Investment Banking industry to design innovative applications adding value to both investors and capital seekers. This would be a Google, Apple moment for the Financial Services Industry! And an Uber moment for Investment Banking! Arifa had a successful tour Sep-Dec 2017 : Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Kiev, Brussels, Paris , Seoul, Mexico, Davos, Zug, Chennai, Macau, Kualalumpur. She has been meeting Bitcoin and Blockchain community, potential investors, market participants, strategic partners and potential team members in order to build a user community for Capital Coin.

Investment Banks and Trading Exchanges across the world are demonstrating their interest in these technologies with super disruptive potential.

Two years since invention, Ethereum has already disrupted one industry big time. Venture Capital and traditional equity funding. Now for those naysayers who say tokens are Ethereum's killer app, we will prove them wrong!
Here's yet another disruptive solution
Ladies and Gentlemen - presenting DGCAMP to you!

DGCAMP is potentially one of the biggest real world applications for Blockchain. DGCAMP takes direct aim at investment banks and intermediaries. DGCAMP can raise capital for anyone without the need for investment banks and intermediaries. DGCAMP envisages a smart contract architecture replacing the manual processes involved in investment banking, in the issuance of corporate equity and debt securities — processes characterised by opacity and high fees. (Read our preliminary paper on http://himalayalabs.com/Himalaya-Executive-Summary2.pdf ) "Intermediaries in complex markets thrive on “the theory of opacity” and deliberately propagate the theory to further their own interests. The theory simply states that opacity of a process attracts intermediaries, and the more the opacity of a system or process, the more the intermediary can take away from the buyer or seller surplus. DGCAMP aims to do away with opacity in capital markets." - Arifa Khan, Founder Himalaya Labs — July 2017 Decentralised Global Capital Markets Platform ( DGCAMP ) is a new-age architecture where investors of capital and seekers of capital can interact freely, trustlessly and with minimum friction. The platform can operate with and without intermediaries. DGCAMP — A definition:

DGCAMP is a blockchain and smart-contract driven platform where issuers (public and private firms, governments, non-profit foundations) can access a broad class of primary market investors (both institutional and retail), complete a variety of automated transactions and processes (such as book building, auctions, syndications, dividend distributions) and can issue a broad array of digital assets to investors. Investors of every type, jurisdiction and financial status can use the platform to learn about investment opportunities across the globe, their regulatory aspects, risks and expected returns, to access due diligence reports, and to invest directly without having to go through intermediaries. A secondary market layer with buyers, sellers, arbitrageurs can easily complement this system. The system can first be envisaged as a single-country system and then extended to a multi-country global marketplace.

Capital allocation will be made in a cryptographically secure, quick, efficient, trustless way.

If you are a cutting edge blockchain developer, technical architect, UX UI designer, Dapps developer , strategist, financial services expert, Intellectual Property, Patent and Legal expert, this is your chance to join this game changing revolution now! Blockchain applications and ICOs so far have targeted well known industries and applications that were elaborated in Satoshi Nakamoto and Vitalik Buterin white papers.

The real Wall Street is still a blue ocean opportunity for blockchain. We are the first to take aim at it. Come create history with us! Join the task force which is aiming to create a disruptive blockchain platform to take on wall street!

We have hosted hackathons in India with Vitalik Buterin, Founder of Ethereum where we partnered with Ethereum Foundation and Consensys for Blockchain India Week May 2017!

Eliminating counter-party and settlement risksPost-issue management of investor base and performance reporting

Digital coupon and dividend distribution

Global Open Access Trust-less Platform for direct interaction between Investors and Capital-seekers

Global efficient capital flows between countries

Potential App Market Place for Asset Management Industry and intermediaries to build on our Core Platform

Reputation scoring of investors and issuers enabled over time

Potential platform for independent service providers to sell Research, Due Diligence, Legal and Regulatory Products

Decentralisation of Access to Capital!

Decentralisation of Innovation!

“As a professional provider of investment advisory services, including, for example, management of liquidity funds on stock exchanges, we are very interested in lowering the transaction fees as those direct expenses paid to different counterparties like DMA brokers, custody etc lowers the returns for our customers. So we are very interested in such an exchange that would give us the reasonable safety within the regulated scope and good fees to more bigger returns.” - Alexander Zitsev, Founder, Raison AI

"As if online book building/ trading was not enough, the Crypto Economy, with a much more vast array of possibilities is likely to overhaul the way in which primary and secondary capital markets operate. To pick just a couple of aspects that are 'ripe targets’ - the current, less than optimum allocation and settlement protocols are suddenly looking almost archaic, highly inefficient and often described as bordering on being unfair."- Maneesh Malhotra, Capital Coin ICO Adviser, Senior Debt Capital Market Specialist, having worked with HSBC for almost 2 decades in India and South East Asia, opened new currency and geographical markets for a vast array of capital raising entities, while maintaining a deep interaction with regulatory bodies in different jurisdictions. He now works at a boutique Corporate Finance Advisory outfit in Singapore, covering Asia Pacific region.

DGCAMP serves as a substitute to the current manually-intensive, time-bound and costly processes involved in the issuance of real world securities for corporates, governments, and non-profits.
