The news from this morning about R3 testing a trading system with eleven firms (Barclays, BMO Financial Group, Credit Suisse, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, HSBC, Natixis, Royal Bank of Scotland, TD Bank, UBS, UniCredit and Wells Fargo) on Ethereum blockchain fabric hosted by Microsoft Azure was enough to discuss. Now Digital Asset Holding (DAH) has announced that it has raised US$50 million from thirteen capital market players, which can only be eclipsed by the announcement that ASX will engage DAH to build a distributed ledger solution for the Australian equity market. That was just today! Add in the announcement from Nasdaq with Chain around primary issuance of private equity securities at the start of the year and 2016 is turning into an exciting year for distributed ledger and blockchain applications in the capital markets. The ASX news is fascinating and speaks to the rapid exploration of the distributed ledger space- according to the announcement:
“In February 2015, ASX announced that it would replace or upgrade all of its main trading and post-trade platforms. Phase 1 of the program runs to the end of 2016 and will replace ASX’s existing trading and risk management systems. Phase 2 focuses on ASX’s post-trade services, including clearing and settlement of the cash equities market. The system that currently provides the clearing and settlement services to the Australian equity market is known as CHESS (Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System).”
ASX hopes to achieve the call of leveraging a distributed ledger fabric to: reduce costs, latency, errors and minimize capital requirements. ASX was one of the thirteen firms mentioned in the DAH capital raise. The other firms are: ABN AMRO, Accenture, BNP Paribas, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., Citi, CME Ventures, Deutsche Börse Group, ICAP, J.P. Morgan, Santander InnoVentures, The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. The current distributed ledger and blockchain environment is yielding interesting cross-pollination of competitors and vendors, with many firms active in multiple initiatives. Celent will be among the firms that speaking at The Blockchain Conference on February 10 in San Francisco—there will be a lot to talk about!!!
