DSDC & KALYP
The Digital Securities Depositary Corporation (DSDC) is built around a not-for-profit business model. It is an example of the financial market infrastructure that KALYP’s distributed ledger technology (DLT) powers. Financial institutions that become members of DSDC are invited to directly steer the evolution of the infrastructure via its governing body and are encouraged to become shareholders for further elevated control. This innovative approach melds together the legacy world of centralised finance with a path to a more decentralised future.
KALYP’s technology as used by the DSDC consists of a distributed securities recordkeeping and reference data solution and a multiparty workflow engine, streamlining securities processes. It aims to provide the industry with a unique financial services marketplace that unbundles and modularizes today’s clustered back-office service offerings.
Aite-Novarica Group’s Perspective
KALYP Technologies offers a unique value proposition that addresses many of today’s back-office paint points other DLT offerings don’t address. Its solution enables the setup of new industry business models tailored to groups of entities that provide the infrastructure to the financial market for efficient processing of securities, fully compliant with regulations and jurisdictional practices.
DSDC elevates what used to be managed in silos in the legacy world of centralised finance to a new operational level. Based on KALYP’s technology, it supports a multiparty workflow and offers a rich user interface for easy and fast adoption of issuing and servicing new digital ADRs. Only a few DLT platforms address the user interface module at the outset—one of the many aspects that give an edge to KALYP Technologies.
ADR processing has always been inefficient and was limited to a small set of global banks acting as depository agents. KALYP’s technology offers new business possibilities to established and new ADR market participants, enabling all players to strategically select which roles to play or not in this cross-border market. While addressing significant business pain points using blockchain, KALYP offers a unique proposition for firms and new entrants in cross-border securities transfers. This one is certainly one to watch.
