Expedite and de-risk
clearing and settlement
Golden-source data and atomic settlement to efficiently move assets across markets
Digital Asset provides the leading platform to create digitally native tokenized assets to expedite transactions and settlement across markets and timezones to transform global investing. With multi-party workflows and concurrent processing governed by strict rights and permissions, CCPs and counterparties can reduce costs, risks, and the potential for settlement failures.
Cut through multiple layers of reconciliation and reduce reliance on intermediaries with synchronized, accurate data across counterparties. Remove the delta between delivery and payment with atomic settlement, or use committed settlement to ‘lock’ an asset to a particular transaction - minimizing margin postings or credit extensions, and lowering capital requirements.
Harmonized workflows and data that reshape markets
Digital Asset’s technology is setting a new standard for settlement modernization, with Daml applications supporting over US$4.5t in annual trade flows, cutting settlement times from T+5 to sub-60 seconds, reducing trade failures and saving participants millions in capital costs.
- Providers, investors, custodians and market infrastructures can seamlessly connect Daml-based applications across the Canton Network to mobilize assets with atomic settlement.
- Daml enforces contractual obligations across parties to provide transaction surety, and flexible settlement timeframes.
- Synchronized, trusted data removes layers of cumbersome reconciliation and operational risk.
- Strict privacy and compliance controls allow network participants to confidently exchange data and value and improve regulatory oversight.
