Building the next generation of market infrastructure
Speech by Nikhil Rathi, FCA chief executive at TheCityUK dinner, sponsored by Nasdaq. Thank you to TheCityUK and Nasdaq for bringing us together this evening.It’s a fitting venue for us to discuss market transitions: the former HQ of Midland Bank, which of course became part of HSBC.And now HSBC Orion has become the first entrant approved to provide live Digital Securities Depository services.A useful reminder that financial infrastructure never stands still, and neither can we.A few years ago, discussions about digital assets were dominated by the technology itself. Could you tokenise a fund? Could you put a bond on a distributed ledger?Today, the conversations are about what the technology can enable, at what scale, and how fast…What this means practically for liquidity, capital formation, settlement.In other words: will these new technologies make markets work better? And how do we make that happen globally?
