CSD on Distributed Ledger Technology

Our CSD (SDX CSD) runs on DLT, which is the heart of the digital market infrastructure of the future. While drawing from elements of the broader blockchain space, the SDX ecosystem presents distinct nuances. SDX CSD is fully regulated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA, and it operates on a private permissioned network composed of banks and securities firms.

Together with you, syndicate banks can issue native digital bonds based on Swiss law. Digital bonds can settle against tokenized CHF on chain, where they are securely stored in cryptographic wallets for end investors.

Digital Bonds support the gradual adoption to the digital model that forms the foundation of the financial market of the future

At SDX, we are on a path with incremental steps towards the widespread adoption of digital securities — and you can be part of it. Digital bonds have been at the forefront of the digital evolution within the Swiss financial market, proving to be a key element in testing and advancing Distributed Ledger Technology. With the framework for digital securities equivalency in place, SDX is positioned to scale and take digital bonds to the next level.
