Decentralised financial market infrastructure business Bosonic has settled a USDC and ETH trade using cross custodian net settlement (CCNS).
The trade was executed, cleared and settled atomically between digital asset custodians First Digital and Propine.
By using CCNS, custodians can net settle on behalf of their institutional clients who are using the Bosonic Network, or digital asset venues that use Bosonic Enterprise, to trade.
Through CCNS, custodians can load digital assets that need to be physically delivered onto Layer-1 public blockchain protocols, in the form of a CCNS Smart Contract. By using this system, Bosonic says, counterparty credit and settlement risk are mitigated, balance sheet efficiency is improved and intraday exposures are minimised.
Rosario Ingargiola, CEO of Bosonic, comments: 鈥淐CNS will effectively eliminate counterparty credit and settlement risk in digital asset markets with atomic exchange, both trader-to-trader in real-time, and now custodian-to-custodian for net settlement movements. We have a growing network of custodians in the working group that are about to go live.鈥�
Tuhina Singh, CEO of Propine, adds: 鈥淭he CCNS network, connecting the custodians globally, provides a necessary layer of infrastructure, absolutely crucial to realising the full potential of, what is essentially and natively, a global asset class. We are glad to be part of this network at its genesis and are committed to growing the industry.鈥�
