HQLAᵡ DLT Platform Surpasses €1bn Milestone on DvD Securities Lending Transactions

Source: XXX

HQLAX announced today that BNY Mellon, Goldman Sachs International (“Goldman Sachs”) and HSBC have successfully passed the €1 billion notional milestone in outstanding agency securities lending Delivery vs Delivery (DvD) transactions using the HQLAX Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) platform. DvD is the simultaneous or atomic exchange of securities versus securities.

As part of the €1 billion securities lending balance, HQLAX created Digital Collateral Records (DCRs) to effect the simultaneous ownership exchange of Loan ISINs and Triparty collateral on delivery versus delivery basis. Digital Collateral Records enable lenders and borrowers to transfer ownership of securities via the HQLAX distributed ledger, without the need for further market settlement. This eliminates intraday exposure and associated credit risk identified in most current collateral settlement practices.

BNY Mellon's Triparty platform provided safekeeping and collateral management services, while Pirum's post-trade Triparty connectivity infrastructure enabled real-time calculation and adjustment of the collateral required.

Nehal Udeshi, Global Head of Securities Finance, BNY Mellon, said: “This is an important milestone for the Securities Finance market. We are interested to explore the further possibilities that Distributed Ledger Technology can bring to the broader industry.”

Amar Amlani, Head of EMEA Digital Assets, Goldman Sachs, said: “Having been early adopters of HQLAX's DLT based solution, it's fantastic to see the transition into the scaling phase of activity where previously theoretical benefits such as the precise, simultaneous movement of collateral are now being demonstrated in size on a BAU basis. We are no doubt still in the early stages of adoption and there are a number of additional benefits and efficiency gains to be derived - we are looking forward to continuing working with HQLAX, our clients and counterparts to scale balances along with expanding applications of DLT across products.”

Jamie Anderson, Head of Collateral Treasury Trading, HSBC, said: “We’re pleased to have carried out these first of their kind atomic transactions with BNY Mellon on the HQLAX platform. The HQLAX platform helps reduce intraday credit and collateral risk while also executing more efficiently securities lending trades for both lenders and borrowers. We look forward to continuing to innovate with HQLAX and our key partners.”

Guido Stroemer, CEO of HQLAX, said: “Going live with our Agency Securities Lending DvD functionality is a huge milestone for our platform and a transformational market development for the broader securities lending industry.”
