Business Wire
State Street Corporation (NYSE:STT) today announced that it will
provide custody services to the Digital Securities Depository
Corporation (DSDC). DSDC operates a novel cross-border securities
settlement infrastructure with third-party regulated financial
institutions to more efficiently create, issue and service digital
depositary receipts (DDRs) in the US public market. The securities
underlying the DDRs will include the non-US listed equity
securities DSDC holds in custody with State Street.
State Street will provide safekeeping, transaction settlement,
dividend collection, and FX payment services to DSDC with respect
to its holdings of non-US listed equity securities. At launch, the
DSDC network aims to deliver UK’s FTSE 350 constituent equities
more efficiently into the hands of US investors. DSDC is a newly
created US company that provides the structure for governance and
support of the DSDC infrastructure network which is enabled by
KALYP Technologies, a UK-based technology provider for distributed
market infrastructure to the world’s securities industry.
“State Street is delighted to be working with DSDC to support
its growth strategy to diversify into additional markets,” said
Nadine Chakar, head of State Street Digital. “This mandate is
another example of State Street Digital continuing to deliver on
our broader global strategy of helping to build out the crypto and
digital assets ecosystem.”
Launched in June of this year, State Street Digital was created
to address the industry’s evolving shift to digital finance. The
new division builds on State Street’s prior digital capabilities
and focuses on innovations in crypto, central bank digital
currency, blockchain and tokenization. State Street’s GlobalLink
technology platform is also a component of State Street
Digital.
“State Street is one of the largest and most respected
custodians globally,” said Alistair Jones, CEO of DSDC. “Having
them take care of the custody activities for the underlying
securities of our digital cross-border securities brings
considerable confidence to both investors and our other network
members. This allows us to concentrate on our core competencies of
building and expanding the network beyond the initial group of
regulated institutions.”
“As institutional investors search for better returns and
diversification, they continuously look for investment
opportunities that deliver those benefits. The traditional American
Depository Receipt structure that the market understands is a very
convenient tool for diversification and remains in place. However,
the servicing component, which has been around since the 1920s and
has severe shortcomings, will receive a major upgrade from DSDC’s
distributed market infrastructure,” commented Thorsten Peisl, CEO
of KALYP Technologies.
