TD Securities Uses Blockchain for Commodities Settlement

Paxos, the leading regulated blockchain infrastructure platform, has announced that TD Securities has become the latest financial institution to join the Paxos Settlement Service for Commodities.

For the first time in the precious metals market, Paxos is facilitating the simultaneous settlement of cash and commodities trades. As part of the network, TD Securities will be able to facilitate fully automated settlement and streamline operations for both traditional and digital precious metals trades.

With the numerous commodities trading firms still without automated confirmations and settlement, TD Securities’ adoption of the Paxos service is an important step to increasing efficiencies and common standards for commodities settlement.

Joe Quinlan, Global Head of FX & Commodities Middle Office at TD Securities, said: “Bridging the longstanding gap between cash and asset settlement networks, as well as collecting settlement obligations in a controlled way that mitigates risk, are fundamental elements to creating safe settlement for the commodities market. Aside from the risk mitigation, joining this settlement network enables us to drive significant benefits to our processes, increasing our overall settlement efficiency.”

Anoushka Rayner, Head of Growth – Commodities, Paxos, added: “In plugging the gap between cash and asset settlement, credit risk is reduced and capital efficiencies are realised, delivering real benefits to market participants such as TD Securities from day one.  Not only does Paxos deliver simultaneous settlement but the Paxos Settlement Service also acts as a hub to accommodate all counterparty settlements regardless of whether the counterparty is on the network.  TD Securities will be able to optimise its commodities business with full automation from post-trade confirmation to final settlement.”
