Martin Wheatley

__NOTOC__ 
Martin Wheatley is a financial industry regulator who stepped down as chief executive of the Financial Conduct Authority on Sept. 12, 2015. He was appointed to the position in February 2011, and was also elected to the management board of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) in November 2011. He will continue to act as an adviser to the FCA Board until January 31, 2016 with a particular emphasis on the implementation of the Fair and Effective Markets Review, which he co-chaired.
Some reports said he had stepped down after being told by the Chancellor, George Osborne, that he wouldn’t be kept on for a third term. 
Wheatley served as the top regulator for UK securities markets. The FCA oversees the conduct of financial firms and how they treat their customers and counterparties. 
He was also the CEO designate of the Consumer Protection and Markets Authority, which started up at the end of 2012.
He served on the Advisory Committee, SFC (HKEC Listing) Committee, Budget Committee, and Executive Committee (Chairman).
In September of 2012, Wheatley called for a sweeping overhaul of Libor, as well as urging investigation into other benchmarks. He said at the time that the British Bankers’ Association, the lobbying group that had overseen the Libor, had “clearly failed to properly oversee the Libor setting process and should take no further role” in running it. 
In November of 2014 he fined five banks a total of $1.1 billion to resolve allegations of FX benchmark rigging and furthered an investigation into Barclays PLC, which had also been accused of FX rigging. In July of 2015, he told The Wall Street Journal that efforts to overhaul the Libor had fallen short and that the rate was still calculated based on a hypothetical "best guess" rather than hard data. 
== Background ==
Wheatley was first appointed as the executive director, Supervision of Markets, in June 2005. He became the executive chairman in October 2005. With the commencement of the Securities and Futures (Amendment) Ordinance 2006, which amends the SFO to provide for the separation of the role of the chairman of the commission from that of the executive arm of the Commission and to create a chief executive officer (CEO) post, the HKSAR chief executive appointed Wheatley to be CEO.
Before joining the SFC, Wheatley was with the London Stock Exchange (LSE) for over 18 years in various positions, his last being deputy chief executive. He had served on the Board of the LSE for six years. He was also chairman of the FTSE International and sat on the Listing Authority Advisory Committee of the Financial Services Authority of England.
== Education ==
Wheatley qualified as an accountant in 1984. He attained his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of York, England in 1980, and was awarded a Master of Business Administration degree by the City University, England in 1993.

Martixport

Matrixport is a Singapore-based start-up with offices in China, Hong Kong and Switzerland. It offers custody, lending and trading services. 
== Background ==
In March 2020 The Block Crypto and Forbes both reported that the company was raising $40 million in new funding after enjoying revenues of $7 to $8 million last year, its first year of business.
 
Matrixport was spun off from Bitmain by one of Bitmain's founders, Jihan Wu, in January 2019. John Ge, another Bitmain alumnus, told Bloomberg in a July 2019 interview, “We are closely tied to Bitmain by our origin, but because we operate in different businesses, we are partners rather than competitors." The company employed many developers and other staff who had earlier been laid off from Bitmain.
== Overview ==
The company's core business targets cryptocurrency miners. Its trading services include derivatives and structured products. 
The company's expansion into Switzerland was reported by SWI Swissinfo.ch on November 26, 2019. Matrixport's Switzerland COO, Hui Wang, said the office would grow to 10 staff over the next two years. She told the news agency that Matrixport will not simply act as a conduit to the Singapore office but rather will provide services to European clients of the company directly.
The company launched Bit.com, a digital asset derivatives trading platform, in August 2020. Later that month, Matrixport announced it would launch bitcoin options trading towards the end of August.

On June 5, 2014, White unveiled a comprehensive set of proposals for new rules and other changes aimed at strengthening the structure of the equities market and improving disclosures for investors. These included proposing that the SEC install further safeguards against any damaging volatility in stock prices caused by high-frequency trading, and that dark pools be required to release information about their operations to the public.
