In this episode, I caught up with Phil Millo, a friend and forward looking innovator in the structured finance industry.

Phil Millo is the Group CEO of Magenta, a full-service crypto-structuring firm and ICO accelerator operating in London, Luxembourg, and Cayman. He is a recognized expert in the creation of crypto-based financial products and is named on several patent applications relating to blockchain consensus algorithms. He attends the UK government’s All-Party Parliamentary Group on Blockchain and is an adviser to a number of specialist ICOs. He has spent much of the past decade executing advanced fiat structures and advising ultra-large asset managers and sovereigns on alternative assets. Phil has worked around the world and structured many complex financial products involving both fiat and digital assets. A technology leader in the 1990s, he was voted one of the top 100 most important people to have driven the first decade of the commercial internet. Phil holds an MA in Mathematics from the University of Oxford.

During my discussion with Phil, I talk about past and future, but more importantly, we talk about probably one of the most interesting and timely innovations in the crypto space - the Bitcoin Growth Bonds.

• The Concept:

The programme has been designed to appeal to digital asset holders who are looking to grow their long term bitcoin holdings without risking any exposure to fiat price volatility. These are the first ever bitcoin denominated securities to have been allocated International Security Identification Numbers (ISINs).

• The Objective and Strategy:

The programme delivers passive bitcoin growth through an investment grade structure with no exposure to fiat. Growth is delivered by securitizing exposures to a portfolio of collateralised digital asset debt instruments. All settlement, underlying collateral, and growth is denominated in bitcoin.

• The Structure:

The bonds are issued from the Argento Access platform. Argento Access is a Luxembourg registered securitization company established in 2013, which offers exposure to a range of alternative asset growth strategies through easily purchasable financial products. Argento Access has extensive experience in catering to investors’ needs and interests.
