SUMMARY:Blockchain and cryptos: The end to post-trade infrastructure?
DESCRIPTION:As part of its Digital Finance package in September 2020, the Commission came out with a proposal for a pilot regime for the use of distributed ledger technology and crypto assets in relation to securities trading and post-trade services. \n The use of crypto assets has attracted significant interest from across the financial services industry for some time. Since the deployment of crypto currencies, the industry has been exploring whether this technology can be applied to securities markets to create a more efficient market, compared to the usage of ledgers based on double-entry bookkeeping. However, to date there is still limited use of DLT in financial services, specifically by market infrastructures. While some claim the use of DLT could revolutionise the whole financial infrastructure, others have highlighted the technological and legal limitations.\nWith this in mind the Commission proposal aims to promote the uptake of DLT in the trading and post-trade area, allowing operators to request exemptions from certain regulatory requirements that could be seen as obstacles, and develop secondary markets for tokenised financial instruments.\nIn this webinar, we take stock of current market thinking, the barriers to the use of new technologies in financial infrastructure and the possible impact of the Commission proposal. Does the Commission’s proposal provide the necessary legal certainty and remove regulatory obstacles for the uptake of DLT in post-trade services? Does the fragmented European post-trade make it harder for the EU to encourage uptake of DLT than other markets? Do existing post-trade regulations act as a barrier to the introduction of DLT?\n
