The DLT Wave: From Hype to Progress
The past year has seen post-trade competitors join forces to collaborate on distributed ledger use cases and brought more rational expectations over the technology’s current capacity to achieve the scale and processing power needed for large-scale solutions. As the industry has come to the realization that blockchain’s potential isn’t limitless, and as companies focus on the nuts-and-bolts of development, applications need to demonstrate sufficient ROI and client value to get new rounds of funding.
Capture a tailwind on future fintech
Fintech continues to dominate the conversation in financial services. But fintech is merely a tool. And like any tool, it is only as effective as the skillset of the craftsman who wields it. In the case of these new technologies, the industry’s ability to capture the greatest benefit of this tailwind rests largely on having highly educated and experienced people leading the innovation revolution.
Embracing Disruption: Tapping The Potential Of Distributed Ledgers To Improve The Post-trade Landscape
The paper, titled âEmbracing Disruption â Tapping the Potential of Distributed Ledgers to Improve the Post-Trade Landscape, â notes that while todayâs financial market infrastructures have a proven track record of providing stability, reliability and certainty, they are often quite complex, siloed and not equipped for 24/7/365 processing. DTCC believes a secure distributed ledger, with complete and traceable transaction history for a set of assets that is shared and accessible only between trusted parties, could provide significant operational improvements as well as further mitigate risk and reduce post-trade costs.
