DLT Settlement Networks for Smarter Liquidity Management

Industry-led digital networks delivering advanced DLT settlement orchestration and liquidity management capabilities

The Future of DLT Settlement

In today’s interconnected settlement landscape, the challenges of managing liquidity, collateral, and payments often exceed what any institution can handle alone. Baton is empowering the industry to overcome these barriers through collaborative, industry-led networks built on institutional-grade DLT settlement technology.

By connecting market participants through coordinated workflows and providing advanced settlement orchestration capabilities, participants can seamlessly collaborate and safely move money and assets in real-time – optimising settlements and unlocking liquidity efficiencies that far surpass what any firm could independently achieve.

Powered by DLT that has already settled more than $13 trillion, Baton is working with the industry to prepare for the future of liquidity management.

“Joining the OSTTRA and Baton PvP network marks a significant milestone in our mission to make institutional-grade digital settlement a practical reality.”
