XDC Network, a hybrid blockchain built for global trade and finance, has integrated with the Infocomm Media Development Authority’s (IMDA) TradeTrust, and launched an initiative to enable the creation and financing of Model Law on Electronic Trade Records (MLETR)-compliant digital trade documents.

The new initiative, XDC Trade Network, is being headed up by Sunil Senapati, who joined XDC as chief operating officer for trade and payments in September last year.
