Top 10 Capital Markets Chaintech Platforms: Securities Settlement in Focus
Vendors must decide whether to acquire or develop blockchain technology now—years before their clients require it.
Boston, March 2, 2017 – Many of the hundreds of chain-related deployments launched worldwide in 2016 are in development. Regulators as well as business leaders confront a twin challenge: grasping this new technology and passing new rules based on partially understood truths, pitfalls, and nuances. But blockchain platform vendors that are chosen by corporations or capital markets firms stand to make today’s emerging chains run as smoothly as TCP/IP does for the internet. Time is ticking, and these 10 chaintech platforms—Axoni AxCore, Chain Core, Digital Asset platform, Ethereum, Hyperledger’s Fabric, Nasdaq Linq, Overstock.com’s t0, R3’s Corda, SETL’s OpenCSD, and Symbiont’s Assembly—urgently need to be near the top of the pack to survive the inevitable cuts.
This report addresses how competition takes place among these platforms and what strategic implementation options regulators, chaintech proponents, and incumbent settlement firms possess. It is based on qualitative Aite Group interviews from June 2016 to February 2017 with 30 senior executives from blockchain firms, financial markets utilities, technology firms, trading venues, industry groups, asset managers, and securities regulators.
