Summer Update

 
 

 

 

 

 

ClearToken has been busy this summer preparing the Q4 2024 launch of our first initiative: DvP Settlement for Spot Crypto and fiat currencies. We are thrilled to begin onboarding initial clients subject to requisite regulatory approvals, and working with trading platforms, trading and clearing participants as we prepare to go-live.

The team is expanding to sustain the live service while we progress in developing the complete CCP solution and advance dialogue with regulators.

Our thought leadership in tokenisation will also be enhanced with a new White Paper coming later this month.

Looking for opportunities to meet the team? Please meet us in Asia and the US in September:

Stay tuned for upcoming events and thank you for your continued interest in ClearToken.

Roadmap


 

 

We continue to make great progress towards the target launch of our DVP Settlement System for Spot Crypto in Q4 subject to regulatory approvals. Partnering with key players to deliver this first instalment, the system will allow participants to net across trading platforms and OTC flow, reaping benefits including settlement compression, efficient capital use, straight-through-processing (STP) and more standardised processes – all with the security of delivery vs payment (DvP). In parallel, we are preparing to launch the full CCP model, adding margined spot and derivative clearing in H1 2025. Our relationship with our UK regulators remains positive and tracking to planned timelines.


 

 

 

 

 

Create Your Settlement Network Working Group

Being a part of ClearToken’s ecosystem means onboarding once to not just eliminate a myriad of bilateral settlement procedures but also opening opportunities to create new trading relationships with other Participants also onboarded in our settlement system.

ClearToken is getting ready to go-live with you and other participants this year and we invite you to join one of our small working groups. Our working groups are typically comprised of 1-2 liquidity providers on one side, and trading platforms, crossing networks, or direct OTC counterparties on the other side. Together, ClearToken facilitates each group’s journey from onboarding to first trade “pilot” settlements via DvP. Once satisfied with their “pilot” group’s success, these individual networks connect to form a network of networks. As Participants continue to join, the network expands exponentially with more firms benefiting from streamlined counterparty onboarding and STP DvP, netted settlements.

Working Group Approach:
Start Small, Scale Fast

1: Currently Complex Settlement
Settlement relationships in today’s digital asset markets are bilaterally conducted on individual terms at great cost, risk and capital inefficiencies for all parties.

2: Streamlining Settlement Processes
Transitioning settlement from multiple bilateral relationships to ClearToken, based on consistent and standardised terms under a common rulebook, providing the benefits of netting, efficient cycling of capital and reduced counterparty risk. Participants initially onboarded in discrete working groups to seed the network.

3: The Network Effect
ClearToken participants onboarded through the working groups now benefit from the opportunity to settle with each other, enabling new relationships with counterparties with minimal setup, expanding their networks.

Benefits of a Working Group and ClearToken’s DvP Network

Joining ClearToken’s ecosystem streamlines settlement processes and fosters new trading partnerships among participants within our system. Starting with intimate working group cohort “pilot” groups, when you are ready you may connect to ClearToken’s wider network. Onboarding once, you then only need to enable Standard Settlement Instructions (SSIs) along with other ClearToken participants. It’s easy and designed as such.

Once enabled, ClearToken’s straight-through-processing (STP) eliminates a myriad of esoteric and asynchronous bilateral settlement procedures. For example, liquidity providers may enable their single dealer platforms to settle via ClearToken, streamlining opportunities to create new trading relationships with other Participants also onboarded in our settlement system, while improving operational workflows and capital efficiency through netting and compression.
