Distributed ledgers in capital markets
Distributed ledgers and digital assets reach capital markets through tokenised securities, stablecoins and on-chain settlement. Analysis covers settlement finality, smart contract risk, reserve backing and the links between digital asset markets and traditional funding markets, with the limits of on-chain data stated.

02Serlêdan
What distributed ledgers and digital assets does here.
Distributed ledgers and digital assets use shared, replicated records maintained by consensus among participants. They support new forms of payment, asset registration and contracting, with distinct operational and financial risks. In capital markets and investment and financial stability, ledger analysis informs how digital asset failures could spill into payments and markets. It supports evaluation of ledgers for transparent registries and aid distribution. The canonical description is on the STEM Commons.
Stablecoin reserve and redemption analysis
Circulating supply from public ledgers is compared with reserve attestations, and redemption scenarios trace which reserve assets would be sold into which markets.
On-chain flow analysis
Transfers between trading platforms, issuers and large holders are traced on public ledgers to describe concentration and flows, without inferring the identity of individuals.
03Exposure, loss and capital
What distributed ledgers in capital markets means for exposure, loss and capital.
The exposure, loss, scenario and capital views a risk officer, supervisor or ministry of finance would ask for, with the frameworks they report against. Structures follow supervisory and actuarial practice. Values are illustrative: never prices, ratings or advice.
Capital, solvency and fiscal indicators
The indicators a risk officer, supervisor or ministry of finance reads first on distributed ledgers in capital markets.
| Indicator | Unit | Who reads it | Framework |
|---|---|---|---|
| CET1 ratio | % of risk-weighted assets | Banks, supervisors | Basel framework |
| Liquidity coverage ratio | % of stressed outflows | Banks, central banks | Basel framework |
| Solvency ratio | % of solvency capital requirement | Insurers, supervisors | IAIS Insurance Core Principles |
| Combined ratio | % of earned premium | Insurers | Actuarial practice |
| Protection gap | uninsured share of economic loss | Insurers, ministries of finance | Published loss statistics |
| Public debt | % of GDP | Ministries of finance, IMF | Debt Sustainability Framework |
| Gross financing needs | % of GDP per year | Ministries of finance, investors | Debt Sustainability Framework |

Distributed ledgers in capital markets: Payment from instruction to finality
An RTGS system checks a payment, queues it if funds are short, settles it gross in real time and gives final settlement.
01 Wergirtin
- 01Payment instructionSource · ParticipantThe system should use, or at least accommodate, relevant internationally accepted communication procedures and standards.
- 04Validity and conditionality checksStep · System operatorA payment is accepted once it passes validity and conditionality checks, such as funds or credit. An invalid payment is generally rejected.
02 Settlement
- 02LiquidityDataset · ParticipantParticipants need liquidity for outgoing payments: central or commercial bank balances, incoming payments and intraday credit.
- 05QueueModel · System operatorA valid payment that fails conditionality checks is queued or rejected. Queuing and other liquidity-saving tools can cut liquidity needs.
- 06Settle in real time, grossStep · System operatorRTGS settles payments continuously, without deferral, usually one by one. Money settlements should use central bank money where practical.
03 Finality
- 07Final settlementRecord · System operatorThe system gives clear, certain final settlement by the end of the value date at least, intraday or real time where needed.
- 08ReconciliationStep · System operatorReconciliation checks that records issued by two different entities match. The pages read state no timing for payment pergalan.
04 Resilience
- 03Business continuity and secondary siteExercise · System operatorThe plan uses a secondary site and aims to resume critical IT within two hours and settle by end of day. Arrangements are regularly tested.
Outline of an external standard or method, from its public sources. It describes what the framework says, not a record of any run. It does not show that Nexus or any partner performs, certifies or approves a step. A gate is a step of the method, never a Nexus approval. The source is the CPMI-IOSCO Principles for financial market infrastructures. A business continuity plan covers disruption.

How results are checked.
Protocols and contracts are checked through formal verification, audits and adversarial testing. On-chain data allow independent reconciliation of balances and flows.
| Kontrol bikin | How it is done |
|---|---|
| Ledger reconciliation | On-chain supply is reconciled with issuer disclosures and any difference is reported |
| Code review evidence | Reliance on smart contracts is checked against independent audits and formal verification where available |
| Attribution caution | Address clustering is labelled as estimated; ownership is not asserted without authority records |
Code defects and governance disputes can cause irreversible losses. Links to the traditional financial system are often opaque.
