tokenization technical

"launch of DTCC's Tokenization Services in late October"

Tokenization is the process of converting real-world assets or rights into digital tokens stored on a computer network. This allows assets, such as property or investments, to be divided into smaller parts, making them easier to buy, sell, or transfer electronically. For investors, tokenization can increase access to a wider range of investments and make transactions faster and more efficient.

securities lending financial

"collateral pledging, securities lending, U.S. Treasury repo"

Securities lending is when an owner of stocks or bonds temporarily loans them to another party, usually so the borrower can sell them short or meet settlement needs; the lender receives a fee and typically some form of security in return. Investors should care because lending can generate extra income on holdings and affects market liquidity and short-selling activity, much like renting out a spare room brings income while someone else uses the space.

View in glossary

repo financial

"securities lending, U.S. Treasury repo, and equity token transfers"

A repo, short for repurchase agreement, is a short-term loan where one party sells securities, like government bonds, to another with the promise to buy them back later at a slightly higher price. It functions like a temporary loan secured by the securities, providing quick cash for the seller. Investors pay attention to repos because they influence liquidity and interest rates in financial markets.
