In our new podcast with Horacio and Paul from Broadridge, we look at how DLR is transforming repo and collateral: 

 ✅ USD 6 tn in tokenised repo in July 2025 
 ✅ Volumes doubled in 12 months 
 ✅ Intraday repo delivering liquidity and capital relief 
 ✅ Digital cash and stablecoins making atomic settlement real 

Firms are moving from pilot to production. This is where efficiency meets real-world adoption. 

North America’s post-trade industry is at a turning point. In our new The Path to 2030 podcast, Barney Nelson and Matthew Stauffer discuss the opportunities and challenges reshaping the market from extended trading hours to digital assets and modernization. 

Buy-side spend is expected to contract by $1.62 million per year, even as the sell-side expands, with Tier 1 broker-dealers investing up to $155 million annually in transformation. 

At the same time, the rise of extended trading hours is reshaping client demands, making real-time processing and digital assets essential to future strategies. 

All of this underscores the urgency to modernize and manage risk effectively in a multi-asset world.
