Understanding the Role of Clearing — Benjamin Santos-Stephens on ep2 of “The Flow” podcast.

Enjoy a new episode of the The Flow podcast, hosted by Konstantin Shulga, CEO and co-founder of Finery Markets.

The digital assets market is rapidly adopting some of the best practices from traditional finance. The use of clearing houses to de-bundle market structure and derisk its elements. Is a central counterparty feasible for a truly global market? We could hardly imagine someone better to dive into this topic than Benjamin Stephens, CEO of ClearToken, the world’s first clearing house in the crypto space.

In this one-hour episode, Benjamin and Konstantin explore the indispensable role of clearing houses in the post-FTX landscape, where they enhance market safety by managing risk and allowing competitors to settle transactions smoothly. The discussion covers the challenges of bridging the operational differences between traditional financial systems and the crypto market. This includes integrating processes like DVP (Delivery-versus-payment), which are well-established in traditional markets but face complexities within the blockchain environment. Benjamin sheds light on how solutions like ClearToken’s settlement netting could evolve into fully-fledged clearing house services.

Tune in to stay updated and informed about the latest trends and predictions in crypto clearing.
