One of the killer apps for\u00a0blockchain\u00a0in capital markets is repurchase agreements or repos, which involve exchanging cash for gilts. This allows banks and institutions to either lend excess liquidity or borrow it if they are short.<\/p><p>Conventional repos involve delayed securities settlement, which means repo duration is typically overnight. By contrast, blockchain supports instant settlement enabling intraday repo. The ability to manage liquidity for hours at a time is very attractive to banks and other institutions.<\/p><p>Retrieved from: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ledgerinsights.com\/uk-government-confirms-digital-gilt-pilot-whats-the-roadmap\/\"><u>https:\/\/www.ledgerinsights.com\/uk-government-confirms-digital-gilt-pilot-whats-the-roadmap\/<\/u><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image by Ledger Insights The UK\u2019s HM Treasury has confirmed plans to run a pilot for the issuance of digital gilts, UK government bonds, following leaked news earlier this week.
