Digital Asset and DTCC Successfully Complete UST Collateral Network Pilot, Demonstrating DLT-Driven Efficiency

Subscribe to our newsletter

Digital Asset, in collaboration with The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), has successfully completed the U.S. Treasury (UST) Collateral Network Pilot, a blockchain-based initiative aimed at enhancing market connectivity and liquidity using distributed ledger technology (DLT). The pilot involved a consortium of major financial institutions, including investors, banks, custodians, and central counterparties, operating on fourteen Canton nodes across ten distributed applications. Participants executed 100 transactions, showcasing the potential of tokenized collateral assets in real-world scenarios.

The pilot tested complex financial processes, such as the creation of digital twins for USTs, real-time margin call settlements, asset recalls, and secured party control during default events. The results demonstrated the feasibility and efficiency of DLT in improving transactional efficiency, liquidity, and legal certainty. This initiative builds on the success of the Canton Network Pilot from December 2023, further advancing blockchain applications in global financial markets.
