Subscribe to our newsletter

Nasdaq has announced the integration of blockchain-based workflows into its Calypso platform via the Canton Network, in partnership with QCP, Primrose Capital Management, and Digital Asset. This initiative demonstrates how on-chain technology can enhance collateral mobility and management across all asset classes for institutional clients. The integration aims to support real-time, automated 24/7 margin and collateral operations, covering crypto derivatives, fixed income, and both exchange-traded and over-the-counter derivatives.

This development marks a step forward in Nasdaq’s drive to modernise financial infrastructure by enabling more efficient capital allocation and redeployment of collateral across markets. It aligns with Nasdaq’s broader strategy to expand its digital asset capabilities and support institutional adoption of blockchain technologies. Calypso’s expanded functionality now bridges traditional finance with digital markets, positioning Nasdaq to meet the growing demand for capital efficiency in an always-on global financial system.
