Ledger Announces Ledger Enterprise TRADELINK

Today, we are proud to announce that Ledger is entering the institutional trading technology market with the first open network to enable custodial trading via exchange and custodial partners. This solution will provide unparalleled control, security, flexibility, and transparent governance over an enterprise’s digital asset trading. With its technology foundation and security infrastructure at its core, Ledger is developing a more secure and regulation-friendly environment for institutional trading, enhancing control and ownership, while significantly diminishing the risk of counterparty failures.

In the current crypto landscape, there is a growing need to mitigate third-party risk exposure amidst security and regulatory concerns. Ledger is rolling out a solution designed to meet this need with flexibility, risk management, and regulatory compliance at the forefront. Ledger’s technology eliminates network lock-in risks, granting enterprises access to Ledger’s extensive global network of custodians and exchanges – or allowing seamless integration with preferred counterparties. With this, Ledger is empowering asset managers, custodians, and exchanges to navigate the ever-changing regulatory and overall market landscape with confidence.

Ledger Enterprise TRADELINK will enable: 

•  Off-exchange trading: Benefit from the security of Ledger technology and the assurance from regulated custodians while accessing exchanges & OTC brokers like Crypto.com, Bitstamp, Huobi, Uphold, CEX.IO, Wintermute, Coinsquare, NDAX, Damex, Bitazza, Flowdesk, YouHodler combining deep liquidity with industry-leading secure custody.
• Enhanced security and transparency: Ledger’s unique shared governance framework allows improved security and transparency across the network. Utilizing Ledger’s fully transparent technology, it enables real-time tracking of collateral balances and operational status for all participants. This creates a robust and open network, founded on a trustless model to instill unwavering confidence.
• Distribution of Risk: Ledger provides an open governance framework where participants can join or build a network of trading counterparties. This allows fund managers to seamlessly manage their crypto assets and collateral across multiple custodial partners to effectively distribute their risk.  And because it’s an open network, they won’t experience any network lock-in.
• Streamlined operations: Simplify your workflow by leveraging Ledger’s turnkey technology infrastructure to manage and execute crypto settlement (programmatically or manually) across parties, increasing efficiency and reducing operational risks.
• Zero transaction fees: Ledger is a technology provider, not a financial intermediary. Ledger will not charge transaction fees, ensuring predictable operational costs and effortless budgeting to simplify your financial planning process.
• Faster and more efficient trading: Pledge assets directly from your preferred custodian,  reducing costs and time of processing multiple transactions. Experience significant savings on transaction fees and an 80% average time reduction by eliminating the need to transfer assets between multiple exchanges.
