The underlying blockchain DLT technology and tokenisation are set to reshape traditional financial markets by creating an entirely new set of financial and trading instruments. As a regulated player, we're perfectly positioned to deliver institutional grade products, services and infrastructure that bridge TradFi into the digital world.

XDC has been building in this space for years, and they've taken a compliance-first approach that aligns perfectly with our mission. Today's integration gives XDC the monitoring capabilities they need, while also removing a potential barrier for businesses looking to build on their network.

Trade finance is an underappreciated asset class underpinning trillions in goods and services traded between nations every year. Blockchain technology is uniquely suited to power the financial rails of cross-border trade, and jurisdictions globally are taking notice. That includes trade, banking, and securities regulators in Europe and the UK, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

XDC stands at the intersection of blockchain innovation and real-world utility. As global finance begins to embrace tokenised assets, we're proud to offer investors a regulated way to gain exposure to this critical infrastructure.

Trade finance is a compelling asset class for institutional investors. Making trade finance more accessible for non-bank investors is of paramount importance if we are going to drive the economic recovery from Covid and fill the USD 3-5 trillion SME trade finance gap. Innovative technology driven solutions like the TFD Initiative are a critical part of the solution to providing more liquidity into the market.

The first currency across is XDC … this lays the groundwork to connect Corda to ERC-20s and other cryptocurrency networks. What you should see here is the age-old challenge of interoperability being solved.

XDC integration is the next leg in our mission to enable every business to easily and securely support digital assets and cryptocurrencies.
