Synopsis

Blockchain and DLT have the potential to disrupt the securitisation market by enhancing transparency and increasing the speed and efficiency of transactions.

In this presentation, Joana will give an overview of how DLT and blockchain are shaping the securitisation market, identify the main hurdles which market participants face when structuring securitisation transactions featuring DLT and blockchain elements and will discuss the path to their widespread adoption.
