Flowdesk Joins Canton Network for On-Chain Collateral Management

Flowdesk Joins Canton Network to Develop On-Chain Collateral Solution for Crypto Derivatives

  • Cryptocurrency market maker Flowdesk joins the Canton Network’s initiative to develop an on-chain solution for managing collateral in bilateral crypto derivatives.
  • The collaboration aims to address high capital requirements for cryptocurrency derivatives trading through blockchain technology.
  • Flowdesk, which recently secured $102 million in funding, will work alongside Digital Asset, QCP, and other trading partners on this infrastructure project.

The collaboration targets persistent challenges in cryptocurrency derivatives trading, particularly the substantial capital requirements for collateralization. By leveraging blockchain technology, the initiative aims to create an economical and regulatory-compliant framework for margin management.

Growing Network of Participants

The Canton Global Collateral Network, founded by Digital Asset, has already attracted several industry participants. Singapore-based institutional trading venue QCP joined earlier this year, while Circle announced plans to launch a native version of USDC stablecoin on the Canton Network following its acquisition of tokenized money market fund startup Hashnote.

“Canton Network’s offering provides the ability to manage collateral and margin on chain, aligning with Flowdesk’s mission to create scalable and robust infrastructure for the digital asset economy,” said Simon Nursey, Head of Derivatives at Flowdesk.

The platform will feature ISDA CSA-compliant smart contract collateral agreements and automated processes for handling margin calls and resolving disputes, addressing key inefficiencies in current systems.

Strategic Investments and Broader Applications

Earlier this year, Flowdesk completed a significant $102 million equity financing round, including debt from BlackRock-managed funds, positioning the company to make substantial contributions to this initiative.

Collateral mobility represents a widely recognized use case for distributed ledger technology. Digital Asset is approaching this challenge from multiple angles, including a recent collaboration with Euroclear for tokenized collateral that enables instant transfers of non-cash assets to meet margin requirements.

This initiative demonstrates how blockchain technology continues to find practical applications in solving specific financial infrastructure challenges, particularly for complex markets like cryptocurrency derivatives trading.
