Alphaledger and T-Now™ Settlement
For most investors, the time between a trade execution and funds transferring (settlement date) is a source of risk and cost. Why must we wait for funds to transfer? Because we must allow for information processing and finalization of documentation.
These days, the technology exists for trade execution and settlement to happen simultaneously. At Alphaledger, we call this “T-Now”. While the US is working on transitioning from T+2 to T+1, we believe T-Now is a better path forward for market participants. The benefits are:
- Reduced costs
- Funds are immediately available to deploy
- Risk of settlement issues mitigated
Full on-chain bond lifecycle on blockchain will reshape the industry and… can happen faster than you think. We believe the future is T-Now, and the future has already arrived.
Transparency. Traceability. Expanded Access to Bonds.
