FAQs
Tokenisation is the conversion of real-world assets (RWAs) such as company shares into digital tokens recorded on a distributed ledger. This enables faster, more transparent transfers of ownership and eliminates the manual steps that can create delays and errors in equity management. The result is an automated, auditable record that all parties can rely on. Read more in our ‘How Tokenisation Can Revolutionise Market Infrastructure’ blog.
Atomic settlement is the simultaneous exchange of assets and payment in a single transaction, meaning both legs of a trade settle at the same moment. This replaces the traditional T+2 settlement cycle (where transactions took two business days to clear) and moves the market toward near-instant T+0 settlement, significantly improving efficiency and reducing risk.
Atomic settlement significantly improves the efficiency of private market transactions. What was once a multi-day process dependent on spreadsheets and manual reconciliation can now be completed in a shorter time period, with a fully automated and traceable record. This reduces risk and gives all parties immediate certainty of outcome. Read about the benefits of atomic settlement and innovation in our blog ‘Where to for CHESS’.
Distributed ledger technology (DLT) is the infrastructure on which tokenised assets are recorded and managed. Unlike traditional databases, a distributed ledger is shared across multiple nodes, making it highly resistant to tampering or unauthorised alteration. On the FCX platform, DLT provides an immutable, auditable record of all transactions and ownership changes, underpinning the security and integrity of every process.
