The Evolution of Trading Platforms: From Brick-and-Mortar to Digital

Major European clearinghouse Euroclear issues first-ever tokenized digital eurobond worth $106 million. Details 🧵 Citi’s Issuer Services acted as the issuing and paying agent, and TD Securities as the dealer. Euroclear announced the launch of its Digital Securities Issuance (D-SI) service, the first key milestone of Euroclear’s Digital Financial Market Infrastructure (D-FMI) strategy. The service enables the issuance, distribution and settlement of fully digital international securities - Digitally Native Notes (DNN) - on Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). The inaugural DNN was issued by the World Bank raising EUR 100 million to support the financing of the World Bank’s sustainable development activities and was listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Citi’s Issuer Services acted as the issuing and paying agent, TD Securities as the dealer, and Euroclear Bank as the issuer Central Securities Depository. The D-SI service operates as part of Euroclear’s D-FMI DLT platform. The D-FMI is connected to the traditional settlement platform of Euroclear for secondary market operations on the DNN, granting investors full access to trading venues and liquidity management facilities. A key benefit of this service is full CSDR compliance. Euroclear’s development of its D-FMI platform is an integral piece of the group’s overall strategy to advance digital infrastructure across financial markets. Recognizing the potential of DLT to transform global capital markets, the launch will support the expansion of digital capabilities in the post-trade space.

“To walk onto a modern trading floor is to witness the extraordinary power of technology in changing the way business is conducted. While trades were once struck with esoteric shouts and signals, machines now dominate, with microseconds saved and dollars gained by the smartest systems. Just as smartphones have revolutionized how we communicate and consume information, technology has created unprecedented efficiencies in trading financial instruments. But scratch below the surface, and you’ll find the financial world is not always as automated and efficient as it might appear.”   ISDA CEO Scott O'Malia has written an article for the latest edition of International Banker magazine, in which he explores the benefits of mutualized industry solutions to address common challenges in the derivatives market, addressing regulatory initial margin, document negotiation and the physical delivery of critical termination notices.   Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/ejE5d-yW
