Securities Financing

Increase revenue and efficiencies mobilizing tokenized securities for financing and lending transactions.

Only ~10% of the $25T+ market demand for securities lending is being met. As markets move to tighter settlement timeframes, the ability to use or reuse assets for financing becomes increasingly challenged. Tokenized assets unleashed in digital securities financing networks can optimize lending and financing, with atomic transactions and settlement. Reduce delivery risk and the associated need for additional margin, collateral, or indemnification with auto execution, atomic settlement, and asset locking.
