FIA 称代币化可提升清算衍生品市场的抵押品流动性 – FinanceFeeds
期货业协会(FIA) 发布 一份白皮书指出,清算衍生品领域在采用代币化方面正达到一个“转折点”,有可能提高抵押品的流动性并提高交易后效率。 该文件概述了使用代币化(即将现实世界的资产以数字形式呈现在区块链上的过程)进行抵押品管理的优势与挑战。报告指出,一些中央对手方和清算机构已在探索相关用例,尤其是在缩短结算时间和实现全天候运营方面。 “代币化可以让我们近乎实时地转移抵押品” FIA 总裁兼首席执行官 Walt Lukken 表示:“过去几年,我们看到会员们越来越认识到,通证化在管理抵押品流动方面可以发挥实际作用。通过在分布式账本上创建资产的数字化表示,通证化使我们能够近乎实时地转移抵押品。这可以释放流动性,并降低传统结算流程相关的风险和成本。” FIA 的论文指出了代币化对清算衍生品生态系统的四大益处。首先,它可以加快结算时间,尤其是非现金资产的结算时间,将转账延迟从几天缩短到几分钟。其次,代币化可以消除对传统支付系统运营时间表的依赖,从而支持更长甚至可能全天候的交易时间。第三,分布式账本技术 (DLT) 可以减少机构间对账错误和重复的工作流程。第四,它可以通过智能合约支持自动化,使代币能够在满足特定条件后执行预定义的操作。 FIA 全球市场情报主管 Will Acworth 表示:“多年来对这项技术的投入正开始取得成果。随着企业在运营效率和实时风险管理方面看到实际效益,我们看到质疑声逐渐被真正的兴趣所取代。尽管在大规模部署之前仍有许多问题需要解决,但我们认为,行业及其监管机构现在应该认识到这项技术的优势,并共同努力推广应用。” 该文件还提出了四项建议,以推动在抵押品管理中采用代币化: 教育与专业知识共享:FIA 认为,在区块链专家与当今监管抵押品流程的运营、合规、法律、风险和融资专业人士之间建立联系方面,FIA 发挥着重要作用。该协会致力于成为促进者,加深跨学科的理解。 监管和法律清晰度:白皮书强调,在如何处理代币化资产方面,尤其是在跨司法管辖区方面,需要更明确的法律规定。尽管FIA已经分析了美国的框架,但仍需要进一步进行全球分析,以确定现有规则是否允许使用数字代币作为抵押品。 谨慎推广流动性工具:FIA 建议从符合监管标准的高质量、流动性资产开始实施。例如,某些政府证券和货币市场基金持有量。 协作与行业标准:有效的抵押品流动依赖于广泛的实体,包括清算经纪商、托管机构、中央清算机构 (CCP)、市场参与者和区块链基础设施提供商。本文建议,试点项目、桌面演练和跨组织合作将有助于建立信心并推动采用。 尽管该论文承认广泛实施存在障碍——例如需要互操作性、与遗留系统的集成以及跨区块链平台的标准化——但它反映了机构对受监管市场中实际 DLT 应用的兴趣日益浓厚。 近年来,FIA 就市场基础设施改革发表了多份立场文件和评论,尤其是在抵押品管理和技术创新领域。该协会呼吁适度采用代币化,这与几家大型清算所和全球金融机构正在开展的类似试点项目相一致。 该组织得出结论,尽管全面采用数字抵押解决方案并非遥不可及,但行业和监管机构协调行动的条件越来越有利。
