Global technology firm Nasdaq announced that it has facilitated end-to-end margin and collateral workflows on the Canton Network, integrating this blockchain-based infrastructure with its Calypso platform. This initiative, developed in collaboration with QCP, Primrose Capital Management, and Digital Asset, aims to demonstrate how the addition of on-chain functionality to existing institutional processes can improve collateral movement across diverse asset classes within institutional finance.
Nasdaq Calypso, a technology solution widely used by financial institutions for managing risk, margin, and collateral, is positioned to meet the requirements of both traditional and digital financial environments. As part of this collaboration, the platform will be extended to enable automated, continuous collateral and margin management across various asset types, including cryptocurrency derivatives, fixed income products, exchange-traded derivatives, and over-the-counter instruments.
The collaborative effort is intended to support the growth and operationalization of digital asset infrastructure. This specific use case illustrates how blockchain-based technology can be applied to collateral management, offering financial institutions tools to enhance real-time capital efficiency. The approach facilitates more flexible capital allocation by unlocking and reallocating previously idle collateral across different markets.
