Through this investment, Citi is continuing to actively engage in various live projects including the re-platforming of the DTCC Trade Information Warehouse that is seeking to streamline and reduce the costs of derivatives processing across the financial services industry. Also, few of the previous collaborative projects include the optimization of post-trade data management for credit default swaps and equity swaps, as well as the collaborative management of reference data among industry participants.

According to EconoTimes, NEX Group’s Harmony network has recently selected Axoni as the provider of blockchain for post-trade data management.
