Securities market integration is the process of connecting traditional securities markets with blockchain technology and digital assets, allowing for the issuance, trading, and settlement of securities on distributed ledgers. This aims to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and broaden access to financial instruments. Integration seeks to modernize existing financial infrastructure. It represents a convergence of traditional and digital finance.
