CLS Post-trade FX Blockchain Solution Is Adopted By Asset Managers

Now offering a service for negotiations, based on blockchain technology, CLS is managing to get rid of the image of being a traditional settlement.

CLS Group made the official announcement on July 2nd of its new post-trade tracking and reporting tool, CLSTradeMonitor. Now enabling the expertise in risk mitigation and operational services provided to Forex (FX) institutions to be successfully implemented.

The first to adopt the Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)-based product, or blockchain, are asset managers Mesirow Financial and Mountain Pacific Advisors, LLC.

From now on, CLS will no longer be counted among the traditional providers of settlement services. Technologically, most of the products that CLS had upgraded in the past were improvements to existing services, just to make the supply more efficient.

CLS Group said the new additions will help participating institutions boost process efficiency, such as optimizing intraday liquidity. This allows real-time knowledge of currency and counterparty exposures and reduces operational and credit risk.

The company is committed to using a position of confidence at the heart of the FX market, as well as all its experience in technology. In order to create standardized solutions that solve common problems faced by currency market participants.

CLSTradeMonitor is designed to help the general market, including banks, enterprises and asset managers, leverage CLSSettlement and CLSNet.
