MGH's Value Proposition DRAFT
MGH is able to offer traders an institutional approach towards digital asset trading
The Issue: Retail Infrastructure The Solution: MGH's Institutional- Grade Infrastructure
Existing digital asset exchanges are not designed to meet The Exchange will have technical infrastructure modeled after
institutional requirements top commodity exchanges
• Access via a web browser and often too slow • Access via proprietary trading application
• Outsourced infrastructure (i.e., AWS) • High speed private network
• Vulnerable to cyberattacks and unreliable during peak times • Owned and controlled infrastructure
• Unable to trade on other exchanges • Enterprise grade security infrastructure
• High performance and fault tolerant
Integrated into global exchange ecosystem
Most institutions are not able to trade on their existing Institutions will be able to trade on their existing infrastructure
infrastructure platforms platforms
• Incompatible with web-based connectivity and protocols • Industry accepted connectivity and protocol standards
• Inconsistent connectivity • Reliable connectivity and customary exchange controls
• Not able to service existing customers • Fair and efficient markets
• Subject to fraud, manipulation, and deceptive trading • Maintain and enhance your existing customer relationships
practices • Intuitive workflow integrations
Unable to connect with middle and back office workflows
More secure infrastructure, no limits on withdrawals and
Material limitations on security, withdrawals, and support
dedicated support
At risk of cyberattacks; funds sit with the exchange
• Separation between the Exchange and the Bank along with
Tiered account security creates vulnerabilities and unfair
3rd party custody options creates significant security
advantages

Limitations on dollar and / or digital asset withdrawal • No planned limits on dollar or digital asset withdrawal
