Solutions / Cross ledger DvP/PvP

Trade between any book

Tokenized equities on one book, fund units on another, cash on a third. Your clients already pay for that, in cash positioned ahead of the trade and in copies minted elsewhere, and it reaches you as a budget line rather than as a request. The protocol settles between the books as they are, so a product issued anywhere is a product they hold through you.

Clients keep venue, custodian and positions

You keep your book, clients and rules

The protocol takes no control or custody

What it costs you

Mobility, liquidity and operational efficiency
are your clients' budget lines, not their requests.

Copies of holdings, outside of your book

To settle against cash on another ledger, the holding has to be represented there, so a copy is minted. Custody moves with it, the copy needs a trust story of its own, and it is your name on the question of who holds what.

Cash positioned ahead of the trade

All legs have to land on one book, so cash is placed on the asset's venue before anything is agreed. Repeat for every venue and every currency, and tokenization has quietly rebuilt the nostro account.

External product demand cannot be met

Holding or offering something issued on another venue means joining that venue, or asking its holders to join yours. Each one is a legal negotiation and an operations build, and all of it has to happen before the first trade.

With the protocol

All legs commit
where they live.

The protocol coordinates the asset leg on its ledger and the cash leg on its ledger, runs your policy first, and commits all in the same instant or none at all. The books never merge, nothing is wrapped, and custody never moves. The exposure delivery versus payment exists to remove never returns.

What changes for you

Host the global market
from inside your book.

/01

One asset, not a copy of one

No wrapped versions of a security circulating on books you do not control, and no custody questions invented by the settlement route. A holding is the same holding wherever it is recorded, so it is worth the same everywhere.

/02

Split balances become captured flow

What your clients position against every venue returns to the balance sheet and is carried once, through you, because a leg no longer has to stand on the same book as the leg it settles against.

/03

Service market-wide product demand

Anything issued on a connected book becomes something your clients can hold and trade through you, with no venue to join first. What they can own stops being decided by where it happened to be issued.
