Stock clearing stalwarts face increasing threat from blockchain

Instinet and Credit Suisse skip main US clearing house and settle deals on digital ledger

{"text":[[{"start":12.11,"text":"Credit Suisse and broker Instinet said on Tuesday they had settled privately-negotiated stocks deals on a blockchain for the first time, speeding up the completion of share trades to just a few hours, compared with the current system of two days. "}],[{"start":27.57,"text":"The deals bypassed the clearing infrastructure of the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation, which clears and settles all US equities transactions, and were handled by Paxos Trust Company — a specialist in cryptocurrency technology and custody services. "}],[{"start":44.54,"text":"The standard two-day process for confirming and completing equities trades is a key part of the US stock market’s plumbing and rarely suffers slip-ups, but brokers and market makers criticised its role in January's meme stock trading frenzy. "},{"start":59.832,"text":"If it gains wider adoption and regulatory backing, this model could provide an alternative way forward. "}],[{"start":66.98,"text":"“Modern technology makes the risks of the current system obsolete,” said Charles Cascarilla, chief executive of Paxos.

"}],[{"start":89.49000000000001,"text":"The US system to finalise stock trades was thrust into the spotlight in January after heavy trading in shares widely-discussed on the Reddit website, including GameStop and AMC Entertainment, forced brokers such as Robinhood to impose trading restrictions.

Bottom line, we suspect we have only felt the tip of change

"},{"start":132.687,"text":"Market participants are able to verify transactions on a widely-held digital ledger rather than rely on a central institution updating its records. "},{"start":141.979,"text":"DTCC's technology allows trades to be settled on the same day if they are executed before 11.30am, but Paxos said it could extend that window as late as 4.30pm.

"}],[{"start":161.85000000000002,"text":"Paxos is seeking to turn its temporary regulatory approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission into a permanent licence by the end of the year, potentially setting it up to chip away at the 40-year dominance of DTCC.
