The Capital Markets SIG will study how Hyperledger DLTs interact with Capital Markets use cases. From issuance and trading of instruments to continued market-making, dispersal of risk ; program-trading; regulation; capital requirements; traceability; pre-trade analysis and valuation; post-Trade settlement with custody; bookkeeping and corporate actions; repos. Are there architecture, identity, performance related considerations specific to Capital markets and DLTs. These are questions to be answered by this SIG. In the beginning we attempt to develop a taxonomy of the domain by viewing it in a couple of dimensions.
We will not discuss commodities and currency markets; although there are integration points with respect to hedging. We will not discuss digital currencies nor money supply. No macro economic or general policy discussions. Payment systems remain a question mark. Retail banking also a question mark. Even if we do not discuss these, we may have to build bridges to them.
