Description

The global financial landscape faces a critical friction point: while trading has evolved into a 24/7 digital reality, the collateral powering those trades remains trapped in antiquated 9-to-5 settlement cycles. This panel brings together industry leaders from DTCC, Tradeweb, DRW, and Digital Asset to discuss the transition from "end-of-day" constraints to a real-time, interoperable financial operating system. We will explore how moving collateral 24/7 fundamentally reshapes risk management and slashes the massive "buffer" cash firms currently hold to navigate T+1 settlement gaps. Our experts move beyond the "back-office" label to demonstrate how automating clunky reconciliations and substitutions directly fuels front-office profitability and market access. By addressing the non-negotiable requirements of institutional privacy and formal governance, the discussion maps the practical infrastructure steps needed to bridge traditional bank ledgers with digital networks. From tokenized assets to the latest milestones in cross-border repo, this session cuts through the hype to address the "must-haves" for staying competitive in a high-speed market.
