DLT market infrastructure refers to the foundational systems and technologies that support financial markets using distributed ledger technology. This includes platforms for asset issuance, trading, clearing, and settlement that operate on shared, synchronized databases. Such infrastructure aims to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve transparency in financial transactions. It represents a significant technological shift from traditional centralized systems.
Context

Discussions often center on the interoperability of different DLT systems, the legal certainty of DLT-based settlements, and the scalability required for high-volume financial markets. Critical future developments include pilot programs and regulatory sandboxes testing the practical application of DLT in mainstream financial services, potentially revolutionizing market processes.
