Cross-Venue Collateral

Definition

Cross-venue collateral refers to the ability to use digital assets held at one trading platform or protocol as security for positions on a different platform or protocol. This capability permits market participants to consolidate their collateral base, allowing a single pool of assets to back various financial activities across multiple exchanges, lending platforms, or decentralized applications. It reduces the need to transfer assets between venues, thereby minimizing transaction costs and potential delays. The system aims to enhance capital efficiency and liquidity management for traders and institutions operating in fragmented digital asset markets.
