The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has launched a blockchain-based Digital Markets Infrastructure (DMI) for access by Private Funds.
Developed in partnership with Microsoft, the platform will host processes from issuance to post-trade asset settlement and servicing.
“There are many processes in private markets today that can be improved. At LSEG we are committed to significantly improving access to private markets, by streamlining workflows, enhancing distribution, and enabling liquidity,” said Dr. Darko Hajdukovic, head of digital markets infrastructure, LSEG.
As part of the initial offering, private funds admitted to the DMI will be discoverable by Workspace users within their existing workflow.
This will allow General Partners to interact with professional investors through the platform, while investors will be able to identify, review, and access private market investment opportunities.
“Microsoft’s collaboration with LSEG on its Digital Markets Infrastructure (DMI) is a powerful example of the innovation driving our strategic partnership,” Bill Borden, corporate vice president, worldwide financial services, Microsoft.
“Together, we’re reshaping the future of global finance to empower our customers to unlock new opportunities and drive meaningful change.”
Archax has been onboarded as one of the first clients to the private funds platform, facilitating the very first transaction alongside MembersCap.
Archax said that the onboarding marks “another milestone in bringing regulated RWAs to market.”
