The European Banking Authority (EBA) is probably worrying too much when it says that banks could struggle to find buyers for their loss-absorbing debt.

The Asian Development Bank has picked up $1.25bn of green funding across two tranches, including its first 10 year dollar paper since January.

Anglian Water, priced a £250m eight year green bond on Monday. The size and tenor are unremarkable, and in a generation of sustainability and responsibility, a green bond should cause similarly few ripples. However, this was the first sterling-denominated green bond issued by a corporate borrower since 2015.

Deutsche Bank has lost its Hong Kong-based head of RMB solutions, part of a broader move by international banks away from offshore-specific RMB roles.

Foreign investors look set to be allowed into Myanmar's capital markets soon, with new laws close to approval.

One of the murkiest areas of modern finance, as of Tuesday, fell under the scrutiny of the US regulatory authorities. The booming cryptocurrency industry has hitherto provided an unregulated source of free capital to tech start-ups, but those days could be over.

The future of cryptocurrency derivatives looked bright this week as digital currency exchange and clearing house LedgerX won its derivatives clearing organisation (DCO) licence, complementing the swap execution facility approval it received from US regulators three weeks ago. While the fledgling asset class still has a lot to prove, a united effort from US regulators could mean it will be difficult to slow its momentum.

The cryptocurrency market is renowned as one of the most volatile and unpredictable sectors of finance.
