DTCC and Digital Asset move to next phase of repo transactions using distributed ledger

Published by CryptoNinjas.net
02/28/2017

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), a provider of post-trade market infrastructure for the global financial services industry has announced the successful completion of a proof-of-concept to better manage the netting process for U.S. Treasury and Agency repurchase agreement (repo) transactions leveraging distributed ledger technology (DLT).

Working with Digital Asset, a developer of DLT solutions for financial institutions, the two companies have demonstrated for the first time the successful netting of “start” leg repo transactions with prior end-of-day net securities obligations in the DTCC environment.

With Phase One now complete, DTCC and Digital Asset have progressed to Phase Two where they will form a Stakeholder Working Group comprised of leading market participants active in the $3 trillion per day U.S. repo and related transaction market to collect independent feedback and ensure the solution is aligned with industry needs.

Phase Two will also determine whether the solution meets the performance and integration needs of DTCC’s technology environment while allowing for integration with member firms. Phase Two is expected to be completed by June 2017 at which time DTCC will determine whether to move ahead with the development phase of the effort.

Michael Bodson, President & CEO of DTCC, said:

“We are very pleased with the results from our repo proof-of-concept effort with Digital Asset, and we see this project as another validation of the potential of this exciting, emerging technology. DLT was chosen because of its real-time information-sharing capabilities, enabling all parties to quickly view repo details after trade execution lowering risks and costs while enabling users to take advantage of the benefits of a central counterparty. Digital Asset has been a strong partner in this work, and we are excited to move to Phase Two with them.”

The central counterparty process offers a number of benefits for repo processing and is aligned with standard accounting practices that increase liquidity and lowers cost and risk. While DTCC’s Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC) currently provides the matching and verification of repo transactions, only the “close” leg of same-day settling trades is netted and settled by FICC with the “start” leg settling outside of the system. With this project, DTCC seeks to also net the “start” leg, further reducing settlement risk and costs to members by allowing additional netting and offsets.

The solution will allow DTCC to calculate a new net settlement amount at a point in time and record it in an immutable, secure and transparent distributed ledger that can be leveraged by FICC for new net securities and cash obligations with its member firms. Any changes to FICC’s repo processing rules are subject to regulatory approval.

Blythe Masters, CEO of Digital Asset, added:

“We are delighted to be working with DTCC towards the first industrial-scale implementation of distributed ledger technology for the $3 trillion per day repo market. As repo volumes continue to grow, Phase Two demonstrates DTCC’s on-going commitment to leveraging DLT for the benefit of their clients, making this one step closer to being a reality.”
