Subscribe to our newsletter

Post-trade solutions provider OSTTRA, has unveiled a new FX PvP (Payment versus Payment) settlement orchestration service, aimed at reducing bilateral settlement risk among participants. Delivered on distributed ledger technology (DLT) from Baton Systems, the initiative seeks to enhance intraday funding, liquidity, and credit risk management. The service, which facilitates the settlement of transactions not covered by CLS, including trades such as offshore Chinese renminbi, addresses the Bank for International Settlements’ call for increased PvP adoption in FX transactions to lower settlement risks.

The service forms part of OSTTRA’s wider strategy to reform OTC market structures, potentially evolving to include settle-to-market functionalities that could decrease derivative counterparty exposures and the associated regulatory capital requirements. HSBC and Wells Fargo, early adopters of Baton’s CoreFX offering, are expected to join the service in the first half of 2024.
