The post-trade industry is on the verge of significant change. According to Citi's forecasts, by 2030, 10% of turnover in this market will be conducted using stablecoins and tokenized assets.
Predictions for Stablecoins and Tokenized Assets
Citi reports that stablecoins and asset tokenization will become preferred tools for enhancing collateral efficiency in the post-trade market. It is expected that by 2030, 14% of turnover in the United States will be related to these instruments, while the figures are 10% in Europe and 9% in the Asia-Pacific region.
Impact of DLT on Capital Markets
Survey participants emphasized liquidity and post-trade cost reduction as the main drivers for investing in Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). Over half of the respondents believe that blockchain will significantly impact global capital markets within three years, reducing funding costs and operational overhead.
GenAI Adoption in Post-Trade Processes
57% of institutions are already testing AI tools for reconciliation, clearing, and reporting operations. The adoption of GenAI is particularly evident in client onboarding: 83% of brokers and 60% of asset managers reported implementing AI in their processes.
Citi's forecasts confirm that the post-trade industry is on the brink of significant transformation. The adoption of stablecoins and blockchain technology, alongside AI implementation, has the potential to reshape the market by improving efficiency and reducing costs.
