DLT Collateral Systems

Definition

DLT Collateral Systems employ distributed ledger technology to manage assets used as security for financial obligations. These systems utilize blockchain or similar distributed ledger frameworks to record, track, and manage collateral assets, often in real-time, enhancing transparency and operational efficiency. By providing an immutable and shared record of ownership and encumbrance, they can significantly reduce settlement risk and operational costs. Such advancements streamline collateral management processes across financial markets.
