[00:00:14]form for innovation. It's [music] being built and co-designed with all the commercial banks and institutions having a say.

[00:00:22]>> [music] >> The whole vision of RNL is to create a new form of money for [music] different types of instruments, different types of assets to be used across the shared venue. And the goal and the future [music] vision is to make this into potentially a new FMI, new FMI, [music] new FMI. And that means a regulated entity [music] running all forms of money and and assets on the platform. And the DTCC is proud to serve as your strategic partner.

[00:00:57]Today, financial market infrastructure like DTCC are leading some of the most significant changes to market structure in decades. More specifically for financial market infrastructures.

[00:01:10]As FMIs, we've gained we've gained stature.

[00:01:14]And we even have a greater responsibility to invest the trust capital that we have earned very, very wisely. And it's an important point that I want to spend a few minutes on.

[00:01:26]FMIs are in the enviable position and the work we've done over the past few years have strengthened our reputation.

[00:01:33]In a couple of weeks, we'll commemorate the two-year anniversary of the T+1 conversion in North America, an initiative led by DTCC, SIFMA, and ICI.

[00:01:45]This represented one of the most complex shifts in market structure in generations and the smooth transition reinforced our ability to lead the industry through change.

[00:01:57]In fact, thanks to the efforts we ushered in a global movement to align settlement cycles with the UK, EU, and other markets in Europe planning to follow us in 2027.

[00:02:11]It was a major milestone for the industry and for the global capital markets.

[00:02:16]And I believe that this move to T+1 that we took on sets us up well for another significant change to the US equity markets, 24/5 trading.

[00:02:26]With near round-the-clock trading schedule to kick off later this year, the DTCC will be operating 24/5 to provide continuous clearing services to the industry, including our CCP guarantee to overnight transactions.

[00:02:42]In working closely with our regulators and various exchanges, we will accomplish this without compromising our high standards of risk, resiliency, and scale, all all critical components to what we do.

[00:02:56]The same is also true for US Treasury clearing. FMIs have been actively partnering with the industry for several years to prepare for the implementation of the SEC's mandate.

[00:03:07]In turn, market confidence has grown through our sound guidance, product innovation, and new solutions to increase access and and make compliance even more efficient.

[00:03:19]This is a good example of how we're guiding and supporting the industry, which is earning us a trust dividend that will allow us to invest for the future. Another key component of what we're doing and why we're doing it now.

[00:03:33]What's up, y'all? And welcome back to my channel. Thank y'all so much for tapping back in to see what I have to say. And with that being said, what are we talking about? We're talking about Quant Network in this one, okay, you guys?

[00:03:45]Truly understand and know what is being laid out right in front of our face. But before we get too deep, I want to thank each and every single one of you. Thank you for liking. Thank you for subscribing. Thank y'all for commenting.

[00:03:55]I truly appreciate each and every single one of y'all Quant fam, but Quant network, okay? You guys the DTCC, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation of America, made a historic announcement this week.

[00:04:11]I'm going to bring you some footage from that announcement coming from Frank La Sal.

[00:04:15]He is the head of the DTCC. And if you don't know what that is, they are the settlement layer of America. They process 11 plus trillion dollars a day.

[00:04:28]They settled last year 3.7 quadrillion dollars. They hold in custody of their own on their own balance sheet 110 trillion dollars. And they are now talking about the full-on integration into blockchain and distributed ledger technologies. And what you need to do for your institution to be ready for this shift this year.

[00:04:57]Follow what I'm telling you, you guys.

[00:04:59]This is an incredible incredible opportunity. Knowing about these people and these players that are building out the infrastructure for all this to be a reality.

[00:05:09]I'm going to hop into the first part of this interview. Well, sorry, this speech where he's talking about where we are now and where we're going. And I will be right back.

[00:05:23]Over the next five decades, we consistently embraced the power of new technologies, including blockchain.

[00:05:30]Over time, we made a series of key investments, kicked off exploration and experimentation, shared thought leadership, and we actively engaged with the industry.

[00:05:41]In 2023, we acquired Securrency, which strengthened our organization with an outstanding team of technologists and a state-of-the-art technology stack.

[00:05:52]All of these efforts have had a major impact, not just on DTCC, but on the industry as we deploy it.

[00:06:00]In fact, it's very, very clear to me that DTCC has positioned itself as the bridge between TradFi and DeFi and is the center of gravity for blockchain innovation and digital asset adoption.

[00:06:15]While banks, including custodians, asset managers, and other firms will own their own ledgers in the future, DTCC will serve as the connector and common ledger for the financial system.

[00:06:30]This point was crystallized last December when the SEC gave us no-action relief to tokenize DTC custodized assets in a controlled production environment.

[00:06:42]The reasons for this are pretty clear.

[00:06:45]One, DTCC is a highly trusted and respected institution with the deepest expertise globally in clearing and settlement.

[00:06:53]Two, we have demonstrated that we can lead lead large-scale technological innovation.

[00:07:00]And three, we operate the world's largest CSD holding securities valued at over $110 trillion.

[00:07:09]Since the path to tokenization is through a CSD, the digital highway begins with us.

[00:07:18]Since then, our momentum has clearly accelerated and our vision has grown even more ambitious and bold.

[00:07:25]I believe the benefits of tokenization have the potential to be truly groundbreaking.

[00:07:30]Digital assets will bring new levels of transaction and capital efficiency, observability, and collateral mobility that have that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago.

[00:07:43]Furthermore, in a world where competition is increasing among blockchains and tokenization methodology, we will safeguard liquidity from fragmentation.

[00:07:53]And I cannot stress that enough.

[00:07:55]We have got to keep an eye to make sure assets are not disaggregated because when you disaggregate assets, you disaggregate liquidity, and when you disaggregate liquidity, you hurt price discovery, which ultimately hurts the end investor, retail and institutional alike. And I firmly believe that we as an industry have got to stay focused on that. We can deploy this powerful technology without disrupting some of the key core attributes of what makes the US global markets as efficient and as attractive as they are. Followed by standards, it's very important to create technology and market infrastructure that is standardized because it makes it easier for institutions to adopt and change as as they need. Um integrating something into core banking is a very complicated process. They don't want to do that every few years.

[00:08:50]Uh and then finally, it's it's a novel technology.

[00:08:54]So, implementing that in a way where it benefits their business models, but also benefits how they use the technology to make it better, quicker, cheaper, as as Victoria was saying. So, so for us, it's really implementing that foundational layer uh correctly at the beginning. And And so, what they're doing is for the first time, rather than waiting for regulation to come down and say, "You will go off and do this." Um they're actually collaborating and cooperating with each other to create this new infrastructure because they have a seat at the table and have a say.

[00:09:25]Truly understand and know he is a very very powerful man. When you have quadrillions of dollars that you have to be responsible for. That is an astronomical feat. So, please listen to the words that come out of his mouth in this video today. Have a couple more clips coming cuz now we're getting ready to hop into the realm of fragmentation and interoperability. Understand and know that Quant Network has been alongside of the DTCC in multiple different things. I I want to say definitely ISO TC307.

[00:10:04]And then you also have the regulated settlement network, the RSN. You've had the RLN as well. Truly understand because America also had a RLN. Truly understand and truly know what is being built out right in front of our faces and understand that Quant Network is a white labeled product. So, that means that like a company like Miramax had a choice to name Quant Network as infrastructure and they chose to do it.

[00:10:30]Oracle had a choice and they chose to name Quant Network as infrastructure.

[00:10:35]But most of these other players are going to just use the technology, the white labeled global published standard, and no one will know that it is not them facilitating all of these innovative moves that's being made. Follow what I'm saying to you about Quant Network, Overledger, the DTCC, and the DTC, which is the new subsidiary. They're literally They So, the DTCC have several different subsidiaries that sits up under them.

[00:11:02]One of them is the FICC. Okay? Now, the DTC is the the subsidiary that that strictly deals with the digital asset sides of everything, the blockchain side of everything, the tokenization side of everything.

[00:11:17]Follow what I'm telling you guys. This is an incredible opportunity. I will be right back.

[00:11:25]And we feel very strongly about that and DTCC is going to do everything it can to make sure that the industry does not fragment. That is not good for anybody.

[00:11:36]So, we're committed to doing that.

[00:11:39]And in that vein, the DTCC model will enable interoperability across networks, including legacy systems.

[00:11:48]It will improve efficiency, and it will create connectivity across different ecosystems participants. Anyone who wants to join within the system should be able to join.

[00:11:59]And And through that, by achieving interoperability, we will deliver transformational benefits at a scale once considered impossible.

[00:12:09]So, I'm talking about unprecedented market access, massive reductions in friction in payments, and greater mobility, and direct visibility into collateral management.

[00:12:21]Quant brings its heritage [music] and expertise in creating DLT-based financial infrastructure [music] for all forms of tokenized digital assets and money to be interoperable. In the project, we're bringing [music] a multitude of solutions and technology.

[00:12:38]This includes enhanced programmability, which is over and above what we've done before in CBDCs [music] and fit for commercial banks, uh interoperability uh across [music] networks and different types of DLTs, the interconnectivity of all of these, >> [music] >> uh and then finally, all of this is orchestrated through our technology and presented through a banking-grade >> [music] >> API. which is Quant Sibos 2022. It's a 28-page document that specifically points out digital assets ready for center stage. Things from the Quant Network. This one right here is one of the best pieces of this outline. Page 14 of 28 specifically points out overcoming fragmentation of tokenized assets market. Points out that the current market for tokenized assets is small, but expected to grow rapidly over the coming years. I feel that way as as well. Look what it says here, though, all right? the bottom line is to recognize that is if the market grows or as the market grows and tokenized and traditional assets start to coexist, industry must ensure interoperability between participants and systems during the life cycle of tokenized assets. And again, they already had key experts that joined their panel. They already had the collaborations. They already tested to have the ability to overcome fragmentation. This was already done.

[00:13:54]But the main thing is they point out that they had those experiments with settle and look what it says here, city, Clearstream, Northern Trust, and the role of Swift.

[00:14:04]Okay? And for future interoperability.

[00:14:06]So, been there and done that.

[00:14:10]I even threw my boy Maximus Crypto in there literally with a Cybos document from 2022 saying the exact verbage of what this gentleman is now standing on stage in 2026 telling the world. Why?

[00:14:24]Because they have been testing this system for at least 5 years and they're at the point of we feel that this is secure, it is safe, it is resilient, it is exactly where we need to be right now to meet this moment.

[00:14:39]Truly understand and know what you know when you hold things like Q&T and Quant Networks token because it is powering Overledger, the interoperability stack of the world, you guys. Follow what I'm telling you, okay?

[00:14:52]But I got a little bit more coming from Mr. Frank La Salle. Listen to what he is getting ready to tell all of the market participants about being ready for this shift. Remember what I told you when I said that every bank, every company, all of them will have blockchains? He literally says this, literally he's getting ready to say this to them, you guys, and that they need to start getting ready for this infrastructure shift that is getting ready to take place. Understand what's happening right now. I will be right back.

[00:15:26]Very excited by all of this, but our collective success ultimately will be decided by the preparedness of the individual firms to integrate digital assets into their respective workflows.

[00:15:39]So, while blockchain implementation will happen in waves over the course of years, financial institutions need to take action right now if they want to participate in this journey.

[00:15:51]We at the DTCC take our role as a convener very seriously. We have the ability to do that, and that is why we have brought together more than 50 market participants in our industry working group to address a wide range of readiness issues.

[00:16:10]So, here are some of the questions we're discussing, and I would encourage you all from your own firm's perspective to think about.

[00:16:20]We have to deal with, and each firm needs to deal with this on their own, which wallets and L1 networks do you want to use, and are you prepared to be operational with them when our tokenization service launches in October?

[00:16:36]How will you modernize your technology stack to operate your blockchain successfully and connect to your internal systems?

[00:16:46]Which blockchain use cases are most important to your organization?

[00:16:51]Some firms are going to focus on balance sheet efficiency.

[00:16:55]Others are going to focus on trading.

[00:16:58]Others are going to focus on collateral management, which you can say is part of balance sheet management, but everyone's going to come at it from their own particular vantage point, and each organization needs to be thinking about that on their own.

[00:17:13]Another consideration is how will your controls and risk management work with blockchain nodes and wallets? Since, as an example, KYC verification and periodic refreshes will be required.

[00:17:28]So, these are just a few examples of the topics that we're all going to need to address, but every organization needs to think about it from where they are and what their model is.

[00:17:38]But, no matter what, keep in mind, DTCC will be your strategic partner, and we're committed to provide sophisticated shared market infrastructure to support our members and ultimately their clients in achieving your digital ambitions.

[00:17:56]Right at the top, unlocking collateral mobility. How tokenization transforms settlement infrastructure. All right, look what it says here, guys, on page 407 of the document, from batch processing to event-based settlement.

[00:18:06]The biggest hurdle remains closing the gap between pilot projects and production deployment, serving thousands of daily transactions. The evolution of tokenized collateral requires new operational paradigms alongside new asset types. Traditional settlement infrastructure operates on batch cycles with fixed cutoff times. Intraday margin calls, increasingly common during market volatility, expose the limitations of this architecture. Looking forward-looking collateral management systems are already structured for this transition. Again, it's it's kind of like, well, how's Quant going to collaborate with somebody that's going to solve settlement? Well, boom.

[00:18:39]Canton, cuz they highlight industry momentum and regulatory progress.

[00:18:43]Industry momentum builds across multiple fronts. Guess what? Canton definitely has industry momentum.

[00:18:49]The Canton network has delivered working end-to-end margin workflows using tokenized collateral, as confirmed by a series of industry collaborations throughout 2025 and early 2026. And if anything, I think it was 2024 with the R3 give or take, maybe even earlier, but DTCC's blockchain platform experiments prove that enhanced mobility works at to scale. Euroclear, they literally highlight this is Quant highlighting Euroclear. Euroclear's digital initiative show that established infrastructure providers see tokenization as generally transformative.

[00:19:20]Uh again, this is big. And again, people have pointed out Quant Network has no connection to the US. I didn't know technology is limited to borders.

[00:19:29]No, it's not. We're We're living in an interconnected world. So, they literally highlight regulatory framework are crystallizing as well. The EU's MiCA regulation and the US GENIUS Act establish framework for stablecoins and digital assets.

[00:19:45]You guys, it is truly incredible to know this information in 2026.

[00:19:50]Most people in the world don't even know who the DTCC is.

[00:19:54]Most people in the world have no clue what a a quadrillion dollars is, let alone 3.7 quadrillion. And if you're sitting here watching me in 2026, no matter where you sit in the world, you are a different class of people. I'm not I I I I really do mean that because the what Quant Network is building out is historic.

[00:20:17]It's It's incredible. But, it takes a different class of people to be able to actually weather the storm of what's going on right now because they see the vision of what's being built out for tomorrow and beyond. And they're willing to go with with the woes of this stupid Bitcoin up and down market and know that utility in motion is just one or two or three or four or five or six or seven or eight or nine months in this process of go live. It was not going to be like I I and I can't say if it's going to be a flip of the switch or if it's going to be a slow integration like he just said, which I could That's what I told you guys before. It's going to be more of a slow integration. But, understand that slow integration starts right now.

[00:21:02]We are at the true go live. We are at the true real time. Most people will see this when they study this time in history, when they study that the the the shift onto distributed ledger technologies, they will be seeing this from a literally past viewpoint because it will be the past for them. Whether that's 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, 50 years. But us, right now in 2026, Q&T fam out there, understanding the infrastructure that's being built out by people like Oracle, people like the UK government, people like the Bank of England and Euroclear, people like literally Lac Chain in 12 countries in Central and South America, truly understand and know, people like Murex understand and know what's happening right now. You have entities publicly naming the new standard for building on blockchain globally.

[00:21:59]How do you think Murex will be able to talk to the DTCC? Just Just like like like like like Like let's make it make sense so we can just think about it logically, okay? Murex is talking about their new interoperable blockchain platform solution that that they're processing and tapping into via their MX.3 software, right? Into Overledger, right?

[00:22:21]And this is the same thing essentially that the DTCC is doing for America, right? They do cross-border payments and settlements and remittances with each other.

[00:22:31]Follow what I'm saying?

[00:22:33]They would be using the same interoperable infrastructure?

[00:22:36]Head scratch. Understand and know what you hold when you hold Q&T. Hold a piece of global financial infrastructure. Just because something isn't said doesn't mean it isn't 1,000% so. Understand and know what you hold Q&T. You hold a piece of the standard for building on blockchain.

[00:22:53]And that standard is Overledger.

[00:22:56]Overledger platform from Quant establishes a new benchmark for [music] blockchain interoperability and ease of use.

[00:23:04]As a low-code enterprise-grade platform, [music] Overledger empowers you to deploy, connect, and develop on any blockchain quickly [music] and simply.

[00:23:13]With Overledger, you can generate an interoperable digital asset with just a few clicks. Create [music] secure smart contracts that can execute on any blockchain without having to hire a team of experts. [music] And you can use its advanced APIs to integrate with your systems and manage [music] your assets on multiple chains. We believe that the blockchain economy should be simple, trusted, and future-proof.

[00:23:36]These are our principles and the genesis of Overledger platform, the enterprise [music] standard for building on blockchain.

[00:23:46]Quant Network's interoperable software as a service that 63 countries are now publicly adopting, whether that is white-labeled and me just telling you that I can do this and I can do that and I can do this and I'm interoperable and there's no more fragmentation and the liquidity will flow, or if it's somebody like a Murex or a central bank like Japan or Yeah, they they Well, honestly, yes, I can say Japan because they've done it several initiatives together. And we already know that Japan adopted Rosalyn's sandbox. So, they There's no way to adopt Rosalyn's sandbox without using the architecture of Rosalyn. So, that was Quant Network. So, I can say Japan comfortably. And so many massive players across the world truly understand and know what you hold when you hold QNT. You hold a piece of global financial infrastructure. If you made it all the way through this entire video, type in Quant Network and the DTCC.

[00:24:41]Cuz understand and truly know, I understand that Quant Network and the DTCC have true infrastructure together, but I also know that the public blockchain that they're using is Canton at the moment. But, also know inside of their own documents they say that they have the process and the capabilities to tap into any other blockchain. You already have other places like players like Hedera and XRP and XLM in alignment in so many different ways also with the DTCC.

[00:25:13]But understand the reason why the DTCC can do all of those things with all of those blockchains is because they're tapping into Overledger Quant Network software as a service. Till the next time. Y'all already know. I appreciate you. I truly do. Y'all Y'all are rockstars.

[00:25:31]Peace out.

[00:25:39]>> [music]
