Why buy-side and sell-side firms are turning to tokenised collateral for efficient liquidity management.

On the MMF front, I’d like to share a couple of things. First, what I learnt watching a recent episode of the Security Token Show, which featured an interview with Archax CEO Graham Rodford and second what I think this means.

Olaf Ransome’s latest article on liquidity management explores PORTS (Perpetual Overnight Rate Treasury Securities) and how they could expand the supply of on-chain high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) for treasury and cash management. He explains why long cash balances create risk, how stablecoins and tokenised money market funds need safe short-duration assets, and what PORTS could mean for reverse repo, liquidity management and wholesale banking.

“Let’s get together!” Big US banks and infrastructure providers are apparently looking at a common stablecoin. How should you think about this and what should you think?

Around things digital assets we have huge momentum. Who is going to win? To understand where we might be headed, I caught up with somebody who thinks about things crypto aka digital assets for a living. Kenny Hearn, the Chief Investment Officer at SwissOne Capital, a specialist asset management company with a focus on institutional grade crypto and blockchain investment funds. Kenny spends his time thinking about who the winners and losers are going to be. He shared his thoughts on what he sees as the differentiators, and just as importantly his view on what is important for institutional investments to be made. This is not investment advice, just a view on how the digital asset space will develop. If you do want investment advice, feel free to contact Kenny.

The new is converging with old. In this month’s post I shed some light on how stablecoins are being used like money and why this might matter to you as an individual or as a business.
