Distributed ledger finance applies blockchain technology to traditional financial services. This encompasses the use of distributed ledgers for issuing, trading, settling, and managing financial assets and obligations. It seeks to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and increase transparency in areas like payments, securities settlement, and trade finance. Digital assets, smart contracts, and tokenization are foundational elements enabling new financial instruments and market structures within this domain.
Context
Distributed ledger finance is currently characterized by pilot programs and increasing institutional interest in tokenized assets and central bank digital currencies. A key debate involves balancing regulatory requirements with the permissionless nature of some distributed ledgers. A critical future development includes the establishment of clear legal frameworks and interoperability standards that will facilitate broader adoption and integration into global financial systems.
