DLT Settlement Infrastructure refers to the underlying systems and protocols utilizing Distributed Ledger Technology for the final transfer of assets or obligations between parties. This infrastructure aims to streamline and accelerate the settlement process for financial transactions, reducing counterparty risk and operational costs. It replaces traditional centralized record-keeping with a shared, synchronized ledger.
Context
Central banks and financial market infrastructures are actively investigating DLT settlement infrastructure to modernize existing payment and securities systems. Projects often focus on improving efficiency for wholesale transactions and cross-border payments. The debate centers on regulatory alignment, technological readiness, and the operational implications for established financial players.
This DLT initiative tokenizes the €310B commercial paper market, establishing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) rail for instantaneous, risk-mitigated settlement.
