Kaiko invites you to their event
About this event
Institutional repo markets are evolving as tokenized settlement moves from pilots to production on the Canton Network. This webinar will examine current inefficiencies in repo markets and how distributed ledger infrastructure can improve dispute resolution and operational efficiency.
We will also outline the differences between DLR (Digital Ledger Repo, Broadridge) and TSS (Tokenized Securities Settlement, Tradeweb) and discuss what is required to scale tokenized repo markets, particularly for the securities leg and institutional post-trade workflows. Kaiko will host market participants who are actively deploying repo infrastructure on Canton to share insights from live activity and the roadmap ahead.
