Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is beginning to show more practical value in repo and collateral workflows as live volumes rise and production models become more established. The focus is shifting from proof of concept to how tokenised infrastructure can improve liquidity, funding and operational flexibility. 

North American firms are investing heavily in securities processing transformation as cost, scale and operating model demands continue to evolve. This episode examines current investment priorities and the implications of extended trading hours for the path to 2030. 

Produced in partnership with Broadridge, this episode explores how tokenised repo is evolving in practice, drawing on perspectives from Horacio Barakat and Paul Chiappetta on live platform activity, intraday liquidity, digital cash and interoperability with existing market infrastructure.

The episode highlights:

  • Tokenised repo volumes doubled in 12 months, reaching US dollar (USD) 4 trillion in July 2025

  • 10–12 institutions are already live, with further participation expected

  • Intraday repo is delivering practical liquidity and capital benefits
