A DLT settlement system is a financial infrastructure that uses distributed ledger technology to finalize transactions. This system records and transfers ownership of assets directly on a shared, immutable ledger. It aims to accelerate settlement times, reduce operational costs, and increase transparency compared to traditional methods. Such systems are designed for high-value transactions among financial institutions.
Context
DLT settlement systems are a key area of experimentation for central banks and financial market infrastructures. Projects often explore the use of wholesale central bank digital currencies for interbank settlements. A significant discussion point involves overcoming legal and regulatory hurdles for the full implementation of these systems. Future progress in DLT settlement could revolutionize securities and foreign exchange markets, offering real-time gross settlement capabilities.
The FINMA-certified DLT platform integrates public blockchain for T+0 settlement, radically de-risking counterparty exposure and optimizing capital velocity.
