イングランド銀行、同期決済における DLT の新たな使用例を発見

The ‘Project Meridian’ prototype demonstrates how to orchestrate synchronised settlement in central bank money using housing transactions as an exploratory use case.

In this instance, transactions settle using central bank money in an RTGS system. Funds are transferred from a buyer to a seller only if a corresponding asset on another ledger – a real estate registry in the project’s use case – moves at the same time in the opposite direction, reducing transaction costs and risks and increasing efficiency.

This is achieved via a new entity, the synchronisation operator, which in the experiment uses distributed ledger technology (DLT) to interlink the central bank’s settlement system with other financial market infrastructures and ledgers, automatically orchestrating the exchange in ownership of funds and assets.

イングランド銀行とBISは、この汎用インターフェイスは、同期オペレーターが外国為替、株式、債券などの複数の種類の資産台帳をRTGSシステムに接続し、中央銀行の資金で決済するための標準的な方法を提供し、カウンターパーティのリスクを排除し、中央銀行の資金で決済できる可能性があると述べている。流動性コストの削減。

Francesca Hopwood Road, head of the BIS Innovation Hub London Centre, says: “Project Meridian demonstrates the potential to improve the functioning of existing financial market infrastructures with new technologies such as DLT. As central banks periodically update their settlement systems, the project’s insights will support the analysis of synchronisation’s benefits and shape how that service should be designed.”
