- I boycott unnecessary translation into Hindi for every term: because sharemarket-topic does not
have much utility in the mains written exam, and it is easier to explain/understand it in English.

11.13.4 🍺🫧 Market Froth & Asset bubble in Small-cap & Mid-cap (बाजारू झाग और सं पत्ति गुब्बारा)
• During market froth, investors begin to ignore fundamentals (e.g. a company’s profit-loss
balance sheet) and buy its shares rapidly → demand rise → share price increases in a rapid-
unsustainable manner.
• This ultimately results in an asset bubble that can lead to a collapse, e.g. Dotcom bubble in
the USA (2001) and the Subprime crisis (2007–08).
• 2024: SEBI felt that small-cap and mid-cap companies were experiencing market froth →
SEBI issued some technical directives on mutual funds to reduce their investments/exposure
in small cap and cap.

Note: This topic is still developing. It is allowed via Gift-City (Gujarat). (Ref: Pillar#3A)
Scamster Rupal Panchal (2005) opened multiple fake DEMAT accounts to increase the chances
of getting share allocations in IPO. Then she’d sell such shares in stock-exchange for higher
prices.
Subsequently, SEBI made PAN Card (issued by Income Tax Dept) compulsory for opening
DEMAT Accounts. SEBI also introduced ASBA (Application Supported by Blocked Amount)- it
allows the underwriter to block the amount in IPO-investor-applicant’s bank account, but only
IF shares allotted to the applicant, his bank money will be deducted. ASBA-Benefits:
o only serious investors with sufficient bank balance can apply.
o investor continues to earn bank interest on his blocked amount until the process of IPO-
share allotment is over.
Solution
- CENTRAL COUNTERPARTIES (CCPS) act as intermediary between the buyers and sellers in
financial market. E.g. G-Sec, T-bill, shares, bonds, derivatives, forex, commodities
- They act as a central counter-party to every trade i.e. CCP becomes seller to the buyer, and
simultaneously CCP becomes buyer to the seller. This process is called “novation”. (HOW? Ans.
Observe the chart carefully.)
- so, if one of the party does not honour the agreement → CCP will take care of it. Thus, CCP
prevents system failure.
- 😭Controversy? Indian CCPs also deal with international financial trades e.g. in Europe. But,
European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) is planning to cancel their license/
registration/ entry. What exactly is the matter? NOTIMP4Exam. Enough to know in 1 line ke
