XTX and Citadel join blockchain trading startup Cobalt

Published by CryptoNinjas.net
05/11/2017

Cobalt, the FX post-trade processing network based on distributed ledger technology, today announced that Citadel Securities, a leading global market maker across FX, fixed income, equities, ETFs and options, and XTX Markets, a leading quantitative-driven electronic market-maker, have signed up as Cobalt launch participants.
Cobalt’s FX solution is set to launch in 2017. There are currently 22 beta participants on Cobalt’s peer-to-peer network including Citi, which became a Cobalt investor in 2016, and Cobalt’s technology partners including SETL, First Derivatives, and Tradepoint.
Cobalt also announces the expansion of its core team and the opening of a New York office.
Devika Darbari joins Cobalt as COO from JDX Consulting where she was a Board member and CEO Americas. She will also head up operations in the US. Jon Light joins as its Head of Product, prior to joining Cobalt, Jon Light was Director of FX Product Management at Markit. Steve Nelson has been appointed as Head of Solution Delivery and Support, previously Steve was the Trading Support Team Lead at Fixnetix. These latest hires follow the appointment of Charlotte Crosswell, former Nasdaq NLX CEO, as Strategic Advisor for Cobalt in December 2016.
Adrian Patten, Co-Founder, and Chairman of Cobalt said:

“We are delighted to welcome Devika Darbari, Jon Light and Steve Nelson to the Cobalt team. Their experience will be essential in driving our global expansion and growth ambitions, as we ready ourselves for the launch of our peer-to-peer network later this year.”

“The expansion of our team, our global reach, and the addition of Citadel Securities and XTX as launch participants following extensive beta testing, combined with our best-in-class technology partners have set Cobalt on a strong growth trajectory. The expertise these new hires bring enables us to continue to scale our business and solution, unhindered by cumbersome legacy systems and remaining agile and responsive to the needs of our customers.”
Current complex post-trade infrastructure sees FX market participants incur multiple unnecessary license fees, ticketing charges, IT overheads and staff costs.  By creating a single, shared view of a transaction, Cobalt frees up back and middle office resources that currently have to reconcile across multiple systems.
Kevin Kimmel, Global Head of eFX, Citadel Securities, said:

“We support efficient, fair and transparent markets and believe that Cobalt’s platform is an important step in enhancing FX market efficiency, particularly around credit and clearing.”
