LSEG launches Digital Markets Infrastructure platform for private funds, and facilitates first transaction | LSEG<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe\u00a0new\u00a0DSD\u00a0capability will\u00a0drive\u00a0greater collateral\u00a0management efficiencies and\u00a0facilitate\u00a0access to liquidity for a broad range of assets, including fixed income, equities, and private markets.<\/p>\n
LSEG is\u00a0building\u00a0to a future where\u00a0most\u00a0bonds issued and available on exchanges\u00a0\u2013\u00a0and eventually most securities\u00a0\u2013\u00a0are tokenised, enabling market participants to\u00a0benefit\u00a0from greater transparency and improved efficiency.<\/p>\n
As part of the design and go-to-market process,\u00a0LSEG\u00a0will form a strategic partner group to\u00a0ensure market feedback is\u00a0incorporated into the build,\u00a0and\u00a0to unlock scale and enable issuance,\u00a0settlement\u00a0and trading in both digitally native and digital representation of traditional securities.\u00a0Participants of this programme will be announced in due course.<\/p>\n

These elements are key to institutional adoption, which is needed to unlock scale for the next phase of digital fixed income market evolution.\u201d<\/p>\n
Angus Fletcher, Global Head of Digital Solutions, State Street:<\/p>\n
\u201cAs tokenisation continues to mature, interoperability between traditional and digital market infrastructure will be critical.
