Clearstream, Deutsche B枚rse Group鈥檚 post-trade business, has unveiled a next-generation digital securities infrastructure for both traditional and tokenised securities markets, which will create a digital-first and fully hybrid platform handling both traditional and digital securities.
Market participants will be able to hold and combine traditional securities, digital securities and cash varieties in one portfolio.
Clients will have institutional-grade access to blockchain technology and crypto assets, including stablecoins and other securities tokens.
The digital securities infrastructure will launch in stages, with the main components going live across 2026 and 2027.
Subject to regulatory approval, it will cover the entire securities lifecycle, from issuance, distribution, settlement and custody, through to asset servicing, liquidity and financing.
It will serve Clearstream鈥檚 clients across both traditional and digital financial markets, regardless of the technology, asset type or money type involved, for all assets regulated under the EU鈥檚 MiFID and MiCA legislative frameworks.
Clearstream is developing the platform with market partners and clients, to deliver practical use cases for the market including large-scale tokenisation of securities, settlement directly on blockchain, and reusing the same assets as collateral across multiple transactions.
