Some high-level take-aways from our CEO and Co-founder, Guido Stroemer:

‍

• Collaboration across the industry is paramount for achieving market standardization and market adoption.
• Interoperation across networks is key.
• Avoid creating new silos.
• Broad consensus that a digital cash solution would enhance HQLAᵡ product offering and further accelerate market adoption of our platform.
• DLT is an enabler for managing collateral more efficiently across business lines, legal entities, asset classes, custody locations, and time zones.
• There are risks to remaining on the sidelines.
• Get involved in DLT initiatives such as HQLAᵡ and help shape the transformation of the securities finance ecosystem.
• The value of services provided by new DLT platforms is expected to far out-weigh the cost of the services.
