CAST, The Framework
to Open Capital Markets
to Digital Assets

Distributed ledger technology integration
within current financial infrastructures.

Why CAST?

We believe in the value of digital capital markets

The CAST open-source framework unlocks access to the developing potential of tokenized securities.

Objective

Its objective is to enable the issuance, OTC trading, and post-trade processing of digital native security tokens in compliance with traditional market practices, frameworks, and standards adopted by regulated financial entities.

Infrastructure

CAST provides practical open-source solutions for the integration of distributed ledger technology within current financial infrastructures.

Concept

CAST consists of building blocks that can be leveraged on to develop new capabilities related to security tokens, at a lower cost than “starting from scratch”, with certitude to encompass all required aspects, and to have the flexibility to adapt to regulatory, operational or technical major evolutions.
