Let me draw this out for you, in simple terms, so you can ALL follow🕵️
Yesterday the Bank of England said the following:
✅'Synchronised settlement' will put them in STRONG position to integrate RTGS (hundreds of TRILLION pound💷legacy infra) with DLTs (CBDCs etc)
“Gilbert Verdian, founder and chief executive at Quant, a London-based supplier of blockchain technology to the financial services industry, said ASX needed to rethink how it designs the CHESS replacement in light of Accenture’s critique”
“For similar projects, we suggest a different tack. Instead of a big bang, or a like-for-like replacement of the entire infrastructure, they need to complement the existing platform with digital asset capabilities,” Mr Verdian said.
“By integrating an overlay, you can avoid disrupting current capital market flows and trade digital assets alongside traditional asset classes. Eventually, you can migrate to the new technology once critical mass is achieved.”
