Securities Processing refers to the operational procedures involved in the execution, clearance, and settlement of securities transactions. This includes trade matching, confirmation, record-keeping, and the transfer of ownership and funds. The objective is to ensure the accurate and timely completion of financial transactions, managing risks associated with counterparty default and operational errors. It is a critical function within traditional financial markets, supporting market liquidity and integrity.

A critical future development involves establishing regulatory frameworks that accommodate blockchain-based securities processing while maintaining investor protection. The potential for distributed ledger technology to streamline these processes is a major driver of innovation in digital finance.
