HQLA\u1d61 confirmed it was involved in an intraday repo transaction where Goldman Sachs borrowed cash from Clearstream in exchange for collateral held on the HQLA\u1d61 DLT platform. The transactions were part of the European Central Bank\u2019s (ECB\u2019s) wholesale DLT settlement trials using central bank money. In this case, the cash leg of the transaction used the Bundesbank\u2019s Trigger solution.<\/p>\n
While HQLA\u1d61 has participated in several delivery versus payment (DvP) repo simulations, this is the first transaction involving real cash settlement.<\/p>\n
HQLA\u1d61 is a collateral mobility solution. The assets held by custodians are locked and digitized in the HQLA\u1d61 digital collateral registry, with the legal agreements enabling collateral to transfer instantly using DLT, rather than waiting for T+2 settlement. It conducted its first live transaction in 2018.<\/p>\n
For the trial, the trades were agreed via the Eurex Repo F7 trading system. Both legs of the transaction were settled and returned on the same day. All ECB trials required a market system operator, which in this case was Deutsche B\u00f6rse\u2019s Clearstream as operator of its D7 digital securities platform.<\/p>\n
Intraday transactions are seen as one of the killer apps for institutional DLT. That includes collateral mobility as HQLA\u1d61 already enables, intraday repo, intraday FX swaps and tokenized collateral for intraday margin purposes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIntraday markets offer a valuable tool for institutions to optimize their liquidity and collateral more efficiently while also acting as a method to manage risks and create new revenue streams,\u201d Amar Amlani, Head of EMEA Digital Assets, Goldman Sachs. \u201cDLT solutions such as HQLA\u1d61 combined with digital money solutions provide market participants with greater precision and simultaneous settlement which are critical for intraday markets to operate more effectively at scale and free up key resources.\u201d<\/p>\n
While HQLA\u1d61 may have been in production for years, the ability to provide an instant DLT settlement leg has not been available. HQLA\u1d61 is preparing to work with Fnality, the digital cash settlement platform, to support GBP repo settlement, subject to Fnality getting regulator approval. The plan was to launch this year.<\/p>\n
If something like Germany\u2019s Trigger solution is allowed to operate on a more prolonged trial basis, that could enable Euro repo. There were hopes that the ECB might extend the trials, as Switzerland did with its wholesale CBDC. However, today the ECB announced that as a first step, the Eurosystem will consult with the trial participants in January regarding lessons learned.<\/p>\n
On the other side of the pond, Broadridge has been running an intraday repo platform for some time and processes more than $1 trillion a month. The big advantage for HQLA\u1d61 is it already has more than a dozen major institutions that are integrated with its solution.<\/p>\n
