With the support of Paris Europlace, Euroclear has brought together a group of renowned French banks around our D-FMI platform for digital securities issuance and Banque de France’s DL3S platform for Central Bank Digital Currency (#CBDC). As a result, in the coming weeks, these financial institutions will issue the first Digital Native Note (#DNN) under French Law and settle it in CBDC. “With this trial and following the publication of the Digital Assets Security Control Principles, we are taking another step in our efforts to support the adoption of digital asset securities and contribute to the design of digital money. Our involvement, in collaboration with our participants, is pivotal as it bridges the gap between traditional finance and digital asset securities, leveraging our expertise in settlement and post-trade services to enable the development of efficient, resilient and interoperable digital infrastructures”, commented Isabelle Delorme, Global Head of Product Strategy and Innovation of #Euroclear group. Digital Securities Issuance (DSI), the first service of D-FMI, supports the issuance, distribution, and settlement of DNNs on Distributed Ledger Technology (#DLT), linked to traditional settlement platforms and CSDR compliant. This hybrid model aims to attract wider adoption and scale. Find out more about D-FMI 👉 https://lnkd.in/gR9WJrUA
