Corda Champion

HQLA^X is a financial technology innovation firm that leverages R3’s distributed ledger technology, Corda, to provide liquidity management and collateral management solutions for institutional clients in the global securities financing markets.

HQLA^X and Deutsche Börse Group formed a strategic partnership to create an operating model that delivers improved collateral mobility across a fragmented securities settlement eco-system.

In the HQLA^X / Deutsche Börse Group joint operating model, there is no movement of securities between custodians. Instead, a digital collateral registry is used to record ownership of baskets of securities, whilst the underlying securities remain static in the custody location of the collateral giver. This enables platform participants to seamlessly execute capital efficient securities lending transactions for enhanced balance sheet optimization.
