The International Securities Lending Association (ISLA) has published explanatory papers exploring the digital assets technology space and its connection to the securities lending and financing markets.
In the series, a range of featured topics include smart contracts, the use of distributed ledgers and challenges in the blockchain, with upcoming editions covering cryptocurrencies, tokenisation and crypto-custody.
Digital assets is a broad term used to describe the multiple new forms of digital securities enabled by technological advances says ISLA.
The Association aims to foster the right balance between innovation and ensuring financial stability and safety for market participants, as technology innovation reshapes the way financial markets operate.
ISLA has also announced the launch of its Digital Assets Working Group, which will produce guidance for members considering the digital assets space in relation to lending and collateral.
